Merging for plugin.xml and plugin.properties
Protected region is defined in plugin.xml where users may add their extensions. These extensions will be preserved on diagram editor regeneration. Properties file plugin.properties is merged using EMF merger for property files.
Add custom edit policies in gmfgen model
Custom behaviour may be added to diagram element using CustomBehaviour object. In generated code this means inserting custom edit policy in edit part of diagram element.
Default mapping creation wizard creates canvas mapping
Mapping wizard generated by EMF is enhanced by adding pages to select domain model, diagram canvas and palette. If specified domain, graphical and tooling definition models are loaded and canvas mapping that binds them is added.
Unit-testing
Unit-tests covering following parts of generated code were implemented:
- toolbar tools
- diagram and model resources saving
- diagram node hierarchy creation
- compilation test for user models with “instance class name” property specified

Wizards to reconcile graphical and tooling definition models
Wizards that infer graphical and tooling definitions from domain model now can reconcile results with existing models. One may start such wizards explicitly using File -> New -> Other menu or use GMF Dashboard where 'Derive' actions switch wizards to reconcile mode if graphical and tooling definitions are selected for the project.
