I am still not sure, if it works. I only read the documentation without any samples supporting this. I want to test that first, before making any promisses, but I think I can look into that next week.
Does anyone here have ever tried this before? I mean, we are probably not the only ones, with such problems. -- Mirko On 6/5/07, Adam Lally <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

The idea of creating a new feature sounded promising. Any chance we can get this done? (Mirko, would you be willing to submit a patch?) The difficulty of installing our plugins and the right EMF version continues to bite us. -Adam
