Description William Piers CLA 2011-11-03 12:45:27 EDT 
version: HEAD

When trying to display properties in a .component model, I get the following NPE:
java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.eclipse.emf.eef.runtime.part.impl.SectionPropertiesEditingPart.initSemanticContents(SectionPropertiesEditingPart.java:259)
	at org.eclipse.emf.eef.runtime.part.impl.SectionPropertiesEditingPart.refresh(SectionPropertiesEditingPart.java:181)

The metamodels plugin.xml seems to be the cause of the problem: many property sections declare their own Documentation tab but it is still managed by the DocumentedElement.
This make EEF unable to retrieve the correct part type, therefore unable to create the needed component.

EEF Generators fix

Implements a news strategy for plugin.xml use, i.e. declare filters in providers instead of simply use input type.

EEF Metamodels fix

Regenerated code, merged plugin.xml files. Also fixes the component.component model which was referring to the wrong DocumentedElementEditionComponents (views instead of mapping)
