(Just adding some more info)
The container's layout determines how the children are dragged.
Specifically, XYLayout allows the children to be resized, whereas other
layouts don't allow this. You can ignore the details when trying to get
MOVE to work. REQ_MOVE_CHILDREN will get sent to your XYLayoutEditPolicy
subclass. You will need to implement the abstract methods in that
editpolicy to return the Commands necessary to move your model.

Oops. Eric is right, you need to return a new ResizableEditPolicy in
MyXYLayout#createChildEditPolicy(EditPart).
I just opened http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=19492 because we
should be assuming that with XY layout you want to use a resizable policy,
which you could still override if you want.
