It happend to me already a couple of times, that I needed to add my own extensions to the EMF code generator. As my intension is to generate Java files, I'd like to reuse the ImportManager implemented in GenBaseImpl. However, two very much decisive methods for that case, namely getImportManager() and setImportManager() are protected. So, the only option to reuse them, is to subclass the GenModel. But this has plenty of side effects and is somewhat complicated. It would be much more convenient if I could just aggregate the GenModel into my own generator extension and call the above named methods from outside. In a word, I'm wondering if these two methods could be made public.
