I would like to be able to build the internal model for VE from some meta
data. That is, I have a model that describes a user interface. I would
like to be able to write some code that reads my model, and builds a VE
model. I can then edit the source (or visually) to make any necessary fine
tuning.
I was hoping to find some information about which model I should build, and
how to build it programmatically. I have been trudging through the code for
a few weeks, but it is slow. I would appreciate any direction anyone can
offer.

Do you mean add an importFrom, and exportTo options to the VE editor?
If you write code that is contributed based (for persistence types), and
if you wish to contribute this code... we will adapt it in VE.
To learn more about the VE model you can start by enabling the XMI
window .... which will show you the VE model XMI serialization (verbose
version of XML). Create simple files, make changes and check it out.
This window is somewhat buggy... so sometimes you will have to move a
component around to force the window to refresh.
see the following for more details on how to enable the xmltext window:

If you have Rational Rose, you can view the VE model from
org.eclipse.ve.java.core\rose\jcmmodel.mdl
