Re: [emf-dev] ESetting/EOperation Delegate

Hi,
I too think such hooks would be a very valuable enhancement.

From a user's perspective, this is pretty cool: The ecore file
merely defines the static structure of the model without any
annotations. You specify the behavior in separate *.ext files, thus
making use of Xtend's excellent editor with content assist and
syntax validation.
It would be even more cool if there was an Xtext editor for Emfatic
with embedded grammars for the behavioral extensions...
Yes, that would be really cool.
We currently think about developing a base language for Xtext,
supporting expressions, which can be generated to Java or interpreted.
So by subclassing that language in an EMFatic-like language both
generated an dynamic Ecore models should work.
I personally would prefer one general hook (like in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=247130)
over the several special ones.
I'd like to specify guarding behavior for common (non-derived)
features as well.
All in all we'ld be glad to help. We'll at least use it and provide
feedback.
Cheers,
Sven
