Hi,
I was trying to validate a particular ecore model in emf which gave these
errors.

The opposite of a containment reference must be a containment reference.
A container must have the upper bound of '1' not '-1'

Can you explain me in detail what is the meaning of these errors or under
what condition these errors occur

In other words you must be a child of your mother and your mother must
be a child of you. How did you validate this? Sure you don't mean:

"The opposite of a containment reference must be a *non* containment
reference."?

The negation of this rule is valid, not what you describe.

Each EObject is contained in exactly 0 or 1 containers. Check the 'upper
bound' attribute of the reference under question.

> under what condition these errors occur
At least the first one is an error in your validation rules. I doubt
that this was validated with something from www.eclipse.org/emf.

You mean "The opposite of a containment reference must not be a
containment reference" where the above is the opposite of that.

You can't make both ends of a bidirectional reference be containment.
Containment must induce a tree structure which means one of the sides
must represent the downward direction of the child relationship while
the other must represent the upward direction of the parent
relationship. So the opposite of a containment reference necessarily is
a container reference and a container reference necessarily must have
and upper bound of 1 because you can only have one parent in a tree
structure.
