hello,

it is possible to add model adapter serializing into xml through
extension points / override mechanism, without subclassing (or
writing custom ) JavaVisualEditorPart?

thanks,

not easily... it gets harder depending on what you want to do.
JavaVisualEditorPart is a split pane editor (GEF/JDT), that uses VE base technology to model/render visuals.
If you do not want the JDT pane (or replace it with an XML pane).. you will have to write a different editor.

If you just want to add adapters to the VE model and generate different type of code along side the VE editor,
you will need to get at the model's root and add your adapter/s on all its elements, and maintain them

When VE comes up, it gets the root of the model here

JavaVisualEditorPart.Setup.run()
...
DiagramData dd = lastModel = modelBuilder.getModelRoot();
