Arn,
UML.ecore needs to use UML2's extended version of GenModel to generate
properly; I don't think it makes sense to try to regenerate UML2 again.
You should just use what's already generated.

At this point, everything looks fine, I can browse through the uml-core hierarchy etc. without getting any errors.

Hi
As Ed notes, this is a fairly dubious undertaking. But it should work.
Provided:
You use the same Eclipse tool versions as the UML code.
You use all the UML files (from GIT rather than Import Project)
You don't 'improve' the code by adding extra files such as Ecore.ecore.
I suggest that you practice regebnerating the unmodified source before
modifying, and thinking hard about why you want to modify at all.
Regards
Ed Willink
