| Re: [emf-dev] EMF interface instance access pattern |

Hello,
Hi,
In EMF runtime and generated code there is a "interface instance 
access" pattern like:
  public interface Registry
  {
    public static final Registry INSTANCE = new RegistryImpl();
  }
It is good and stable. It works perfect.
However, it may look "too static" for OSGi-based approach where 
interface should not reference its implementation.
How would you implement it today for OSGi-oriented architecture 
executed by 1.8+ Java? 
You might be interested in this presentation [1] from Mikael Barbero 
(presented at EclipseCon 2012), which tried to imagine what a more 
modern/dynamic/OSGi-compatible version of EMF could look like if 
backward compatibility was not an issue (it is). It tackled this 
particular issue, among others.
