I just began using EMF to drive the development from UML model (class
diagram), the .umlclass and .uml is created successfully and .genmodel is
created, loaded with .uml and can now sucessfully generate .ecore and I
turned on option of the genmodel to generate Schema as well.

The issue is: although in UML model, for all property I defined for any
class, I applied eAttribute stereotype in the hope to force the "XML
Feature Kind" to be "Element" instead of "unspecified". But still the
generated .xsd has every property generated as attribute, could anyone has
done this give me any insight or help. Thanks in advance,

Alick,

Comments below. The generated XSD is a yucky XMI schema. Try using
Export Model...->XML Schema instead. I'm not sure how to express
ExtendedMetaData annotations in UML. There must be a way though...

Thanks Ed for such quick response, great help and I am sure it would work
as you suggested. Since I am new to this tool, could you kindly point me
to the specific place where I can export an XML schema from (I guess) most
likely the ecore model?

Thanks a lot,

Had the same problem just day before yesterday. You open a genmodel and then
see the eclipse menu for "Generator" or something like that.
Please note that in case you are using Estring, Eint and another EXXX
attributes in your ecore, generated schema will obvioulsy contain references
to ECORE.XSD which define all these types. If you don't whant this to happen
use XMLSchema types instead. You can load them to your ecore and use them
from there.

Thanks a lot Renat, actually I just saw a previous post between a guy
called Phillips and Ed, where Phillips mentioned this menu item. It's
quite tricky for newbee like me :-) I really appreciate your response,

----now I am fighting with the imported package/xsd, since my model
inherits/extends from a "core" model which is defined in a separate
project, got some issue when ran into the package selection window. Did
you happen to do the same thing?
