Eclipse Community ForumsRe: km3 -> ecore - bad practice in metamodeling?
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/193076/613642/#msg_613642
I'm not sure what to say. This issue came up recently on the GMT
newgroup and it's something that KM3 folks need to consider. Something
like annotations to specify things not in KM3 but needed in Ecore would
seem to make sense.
