Hi,

I have a problem with some characters when creating an EMF model from
an XML schema. The relevant parts of the XML schema looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
....
<xsd:complexType name="Questionnaire">
...
<xsd:attribute ecore:transient="true"
ecore:derived="true" ecore:volatile="true" ecore:changeable="false"
name="maxPoints" type="xsd:int">
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:appinfo ecore:key="derive"
source="http://www.xocl.org/OCL">self.questions->collect(q: Query |
q.maxPoints)->sum()</xsd:appinfo>
</xsd:annotation>
</xsd:attribute>
....
</xsd:schema>

In particular, the OCL expression

self.questions->collect(q: Query | q.maxPoints)->sum()

gets transformed into

self.questions-&gt;collect(q: Query | q.maxPoints)-&gt;sum()

Now I understand that > is a special character in XML schema and that
it is correctly escaped using &gt; but I don't know what I have to do
in order to end up with > in the ecore. I tried escaping the > with
&gt; in my XML schema, but then I still end up with &gt; in the ecore.
Anyone has an idea?

Attached is simple project with the complete XML schema in it.

Best,
Marc

It should not matter. By the time you read it into memory it will be
the right character.

You shouldn't worry about what it looks like in the *.ecore file, as
long as it's the correct character once it's read in. Any XML parser
will yield the correct characters from reading &gt...
