only relevant if we have use cases in which having an integrated java model would be an advantage. What do you see as those use cases?


<draft-though>Interaction with an aspect-j sitemap debuger</draft-though>
Sitemap Hight level validation (upper than schema), clever wizard, completion support. Many usefull feature are present like deep copy, validation framework with EMF. Of course it is *not* the only way .

I know there are some plans for debuggers already. I'm not familiar with them, or with aspect-j, so I con't comment on this "draft-thought" I'm afraid. I'm sure others will soon.


You only noticed the static aspect of EMF, but we can also use the metamodel (ECore) which is very usefull to build ecore based form / properties table.

Yes, I agree that the ECore model would be very useful in any stuation in which we want to programmatically work with the sitemap. Other than a debugger, I can't actually think of any right now. Whereas I really like the editors AXE produces (I just wish it were more stable/complete and/or I had more time to get to grips with it).


Lets see what others, more close to the current code base think...
