From https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=355347#c5: I would even recommand to consider replacing all setters in favor of using something like a builder pattern. The builder can hold some default values so even without specifing any additional properties you create a valid object: I have tried something like that: https://github.com/joergreichert/Permet/blob/master/org.eclipse.xtext.example.fowlerdsl.diagram/src/org/eclipse/xtext/example/fowlerdsl/diagram/features/add/AddStateFeature.java

Would you be interested in > contributing? Sure, I append so two builders, I have so far. Take also a look to the Xspray project: https://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/spray/ Beside the DSL and the generator, we are also developing some infrastructure to ease the use of the Graphiti framework. Some of the implementation might then contributed back to Graphiti. Joerg
