I also don't have enough (any) experience with EMF yet to say what form the Feature solution should look like. (e.g., just use EClass/EObject directly or try to make a FeatureType implementation?) I'd like to offload an EMF Feature solution to someone smarter than me and then I'll follow suit inside coverages by extending the Feature solution. Lastly, trying to input a design to EMF with the glorified property editor is a little like gouging out your own eye with a rusty spoon. Has anyone developed some sort of XSLT solution for XMI/UML2 (e.g. Poseidon, et. al) to EMF's XMI? Thanks for the encouragement!
