sorry for the late reply.
So you can start the modelserver by using the org.eclipse.emfcloud.modelserver.emf.launch.ModelServerLauncher if you don't need support for arguments from CLI or the org.eclipse.emfcloud.modelserver.emf.launch.CLIBasedModelServerLauncher if you need to parse CLI arguments.
In your case the server would runs in an OSGi/Eclipse environment, so EMF should pick up all registered packages automatically so resource factories from e.g. Emfatic should be directly usable.
Within my metamodels I use annotations for derived features and validations. These rely on the extension points for injection of functionality.
I would like to know how I can start the server within an Eclipse headless instance so that the extension points get activated on property access or validation call.
I am aware that I can manually register the extensions using EMF registries, but if the functionality has transitive bundle dependencies, this gets messy.
