Error when with classifier reference in EnumerationLiterals [message #1105198]

Hi,
The uml specification descripes a reference called classifier for EnumerationLiteral and InstanceSpecification. When setting the reference classifier by hand in the xmi file to the containing Enumeration this causes trouble. I am using a commercial UML Modeling tool setting this in its xmi Export. When loading this example model with uml Model Editor you will see the error i am describing. Although the superfluous classifier specification in the second EnumerationLiteral could also just be ignored.

Hi

I think you need to read the various XMI serialization specifications
very very carefully to determine whether the redundant "classifier"
container reference is gratuitous or erroneous.

Even if it is erroneous, this is at least the third distinct occasion on
which I have seen this problem arise, so it would seem helpful if the
MDT/UML2 model loader could ignore no-change assignments of the container.

(The candidate XMI for UM 2.5 has the same problem.)

Please raise a Bugzilla.

Regards

Ed Willink
