Why no EMF?

I spent two gnarly days coding and converted it back to a POJO model with JDOM. Why for God’s sake, why?

EMF is great for Model construction and Notifications but I can’t guarantee that its serialisation will hold through any major refactoring. And of course it can’t be because how else can it persist? It has to do its persistence through introspection. That’s why EMF is so clever. I can change a class name OK and map to a new name…but I just don’t like the way it persists.

I guess I could have just taken care of load/save myself, but then I’m hardly using EMF for anything.

I think you need to have a pretty solid model structure in the first place.
