- If the creation of new annotations should be wrapped into a command, but the annotation already exists, avoid the usage of a command and just directly return the (already existing) annotation.
- This avoids superfluous model modifications (i.e., the project marked dirty and requires saving)

- Use constants in IPageLayout instead of hard-coded String constants to configure views for StoragePerspective.
- Note: ResourceNavigator view is deprecated since Eclipse 3.5! (warning suppressed for now)

- Since partClosed() is triggered when any IWorkBenchPart is closed, the current implementation erroneously removes the EditorActivationListener even if any other view but the "Model Elements" view is closed.
- Hence, use a different approach and in partActivated() check, if the LibraryView's TreeViewer control is disposed

- Avoid java.lang.IllegalStateException because EditorActivationListener tries to update the input of LibraryView's TreeViewer widget after it has been closed (disposed)

- Switch to non-deprecated variant of KernelModelElementUtils.getParentElement()

- When inserting copies of objects as a result of a copy&paste operation, the inserted model elements is shifted by an offset. This gives visual feedback to the user that the paste operation has actually been performed.
- Notes:
 + Some model types are not handled yet (see ticket)
 + Although maybe an obvious approach, this feature cannot be implemented as a method in HierarchicElementCompositorBase:
   o It is not the base class of all affected compositors
   o HierarchicElementCompositorBase resides in org.fortiss.tooling.base, where as the required methods for detailing with layout information are in org.fortiss.tooling.base.ui

- doCompositorBasedDelete(): Sort list of deletion targets such that object whose eContainer() is not contained in 'targets' are deleted first (e.g., free connectors in hierarchical element models).
- This is required to avoid an NPE when the GUI is refreshed while the list of object to be deleted is processed.

- Ensure that in each session, the hint how to create new connections is displayed until the user has managed to create three of them.
- (Side note): The current implementation cannot distinguish connections created interactively by the user, and connections created by a model-transformations. However, we can assume that a user who is able to issue a model-transformation also knows how to create a channel in the GUI.

- Ignore update of IDs that may be triggered massively when saving a model that contains a lot of generated artifacts for which IDs are typically not assigned.
- Disabling the delivery of notifications during the assignment of IDs is not possible since the kernel needs to be notified about ID changes.

- This fixes the bug that the TreeMap suffers from collisions of identity hashes.
- The special properties of IdentityHashMap that it uses references equality (instead
  of equals()) to decide collisions is not needed here, but it also does not harm since
  this is the default implementation of equals(), and per definition there cannot be
  two equal elements (at the XMI resource level).
