The EMF wizard from RationalRose model converts package names to lowercase in the generated model.ecore. This respects the naming convention of java packages.
The EMF wizard from UML2 (exported from MagicDraw) leaves the package name case.
Can anyone explains why the EMF wizard from UML2 doesn't work like the one from Rose ?

Ed,
Certainly with XML Schema conversion we record the original names from
the schema; they're very important for producing a conforming XML
serialization from the instances. I don't suppose the same concern
arises for UML... Or maybe it does?
