Binding to UML Classes and Ecore Primitive Types [message #478282]

I have defined a template class and would like to bind the template
parameter to other classes in my model and to some of the Ecore Primitive
Types that ultimately map to Java classes (e.g. EBooleanObject,
EIntegerObject, EDoubleObject, etc.). With these Ecore types being modeled
as UML Primitive Types, I am unable to use them if my template parameter
type is set to "Class". Conversely, if I set my template parameter type to
"Primitive Type", then I can no longer bind to other classes in my model.
Does anyone have a solution that will allow me to bind to both of these
things? A similar issue occurs if I try to bind EDoubleObject to the
template parameter of EEList.

Thanks,

JT

NOTE: I originally posted this to uml2tools but then decided that this was
a more appropriate group.

Hi John,

If I'm not mistaken, this is an issue with the UML spec itself, although I
can't seem to locate the RTF number for the particular OMG issue at this
moment.

Have a look at the following for more information.
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/uml2/docs/articles/Defin ing_Generics_with_UML_Templates/article.html

Cheers,
- James.

This is the OMG issue I was thinking of:
