Hi Alain,
EMF does work without extension points, but in its current state needs
manual registration of you EPackages. The OSGi Compatibility option in
the genmodel only defines the org.eclipse.core.runtime as optional,
which dues does not really solve anything.
We have an extension for EMF that solves this issue. You can have EMF
with any framework you like and without extension points. Have a look
here: https://gitlab.com/gecko.io/geckoEMF
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Jürgen.

I would expect that Mark Hoffman or Jürgen Albert might have some
useful pointers, I’m pretty sure that they’re heavy users of EMF.
Best Regards,

Scott,
I noticed the split of the o.e.core.runtime and am already using the
o.e.equinox.common + supplement and running some stuff like that
with Felix. But that part doesn't include of the support for
extension points that is in the other "half", hence my question.

Yes wrt extension registry/extension points.
o.e.core.runtime is a split package, split between bundles
o.e.equinox.common and o.e.equinox.registry
I'm not sure of the justification for split packages, but I
think it was
done to maintain backward compatibility in eclipse plugins.
The version I used was a few years ago, but at that time these two
bundles...along with equinox...would run the extension registry
(i.e.
process extension points/extensions on startup). AFAIK that's
still the
case.
If you want to use a framework other than equinox, I know for
certain
that o.e.equinox.common works just fine on Felix...as long as
one also
includes this bundle [1].
I don't think EMF requires anything in addition to
o.e.equinox.common
and o.e.equinox.registry but I'm not completely sure about that.
