but ecore doesn't have "plugins". it has explicit libraries - thus they will
suck in a tonne of requirements most people don't use. this is bad(tm). if
something is rarely/not used - even if there is support for it, it shouldn't be
forced onto users.

in this case it doesn't - thus why i say i need to poke my finger in... :)
