Re: [e4-dev] Improved handling of ID's - Suggestion for discussion
|
Hi Lars,
I'm not 100% I really understand what you are suggesting here? Is that
the tooling generates constants in an extra class?
I'm also not sure what the URL modelid:// is good for? Did you e.g. know
that you can simply use XPath on EMF-Models (we don't ship the bundle
but it's part of the e4-git-repo).
I think you need to elaborate a bit more, so that I can understand what
you propose and how it could be implemented.
