Hello,

we are using EMF to parse XML files based on several XML schemas.
In our schema, we have this complexType:

<xsd:schema ...
xmlns:x="... other namespace defined by third-party schema ... "
xmlns:ecore="http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore">

<xsd:complexType name="conditionType" ecore:featureMap="myCond">
<xsd:sequence minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1">
<xsd:element ref="x:external" />
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

It refers to "m:external" which is defined by a third-party XML schema.
In our application, we would like to work with the conditionType by using
a general FeatureMap. We do not want to use EMF model code classes for the
content in the third-party schema.

Is it possible to disable the generation of model code for the third-party
schema, starting at x:external)?

Regards,
Matthias

No. You could replace the element with a wildcard, <xsd:any
namespace="<third-party-namespace>"/> but that would allow any element
from that other namespace. Or you could define a schema with the third
party namespace where you just have <xsd:element name="external"/> and
nothing else, which would produce a minimal package for that namespace...
