Registering an Ecore model in a standalone Java application

Question

An Ecore model can be used outside the plugin-environment by manually registering the file extension and the ResourceFactory with the following command, in this case for XML:

Resource.Factory.Registry.INSTANCE.getExtensionToFactoryMap().put("xml", new XMLResourceFactoryImpl());   

My Ecore model only contains a Factory (extends EFactory ). Where can I get the necessary ResourceFactory?

You need to include in your classpath EMF *.jar files.
