Metamodel services
The idea is to collect most of Sphinx extension points under one extension point, the Metamodel Services. This unique extension point will provide the glue to manage a new metamodel by Sphinx and will have the flexibility to be dispatched over many plug-ins depending on the architecture.
The tables below show the current extension points and their corresponding plug-ins
| Plug-in | Extension Points |
| org.eclipse.sphinx.emf | customCommands |
| editingDomainFactoryListeners | |
| metaModelDescriptors | |
| modelConverters | |
| resourceHandlers | |
| resourceLocators | |
| resourceScopeProviders |
| Plug-in | Extension Points |
| org.eclipse.sphinx.emf.workspace | editingDomains |
| modelSaveLifecycleListeners | |
| uriChangeDetectorDelegates | |
| uriChangeListeners |
