Steffen,

The project just got underway. The CVS source was designed as a starting
point for development of a full-fledged
JSF editor backed by an ecore model.

There seems to be two strains of thought on the direction this should go
in...

	1) A web-based EMF model editor using JSF and patterned after the Eclipse
EMF plugin, using the Myfaces tree.
	2) An Eclipse plugin to generate configurable and extensible JSF web
applications backed by ecore models.

If the first can be accomplished, and the source demonstrates that it can,
then I think creating a useful plugin
is a natural next step.

Glenn...

Steffen,

I just setup a new list for the site to have development discussion on. 
Please feel free to join.

http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emf2jsf-devel

Glenn has written all the code in the cvs tree. I've been using it 
locally in developing a prototype for a project here at Harvard.

Theres allot of discussion about using EMF with Spring, JDO, Hibernate 
etc on the EMF news group. But theres little discussion about 
alternative editors. So we started this project.

I'm currently using it in prototype which uses Berkeley XML DB as a 
persistence backend.

Cheers,
Mark Diggory
