I have an XSD with an anonymous type defined under a global element:
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
            xmlns="http://www.example.com/test"
            targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/test">

  <xsd:element name="address-global-element">
    <xsd:complexType>
      <xsd:sequence>
        <xsd:element name="zip-code" type="xsd:int" nillable="true" />
      </xsd:sequence>
    </xsd:complexType>
  </xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>


When I import this XSD using XSDEcoreBuilder and then later generate an XSD from the Ecore model using EcoreSchemaBuilder, the resulting XSD looks like this:
<xsd:schema ecore:nsPrefix="test" ecore:package="com.example.test"
  targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/test"
  xmlns:ecore="http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore"
  xmlns:test="http://www.example.com/test" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

  <xsd:element name="address-global-element" type="test:address-global-element_._type"/>
  
  <xsd:complexType ecore:name="AddressGlobalElementType" name="address-global-element_._type">
    <xsd:sequence>
      <xsd:element ecore:name="zipCode" name="zip-code" nillable="true" type="xsd:int"/>
    </xsd:sequence>
  </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>


I was wondering if there is any way to generate the XSD with the anonymous type declaration (as in the original XSD), instead of a named type with the "_._type" suffix?

Thank you,
Nikita

For reference, this is the ecore model produced by XSDEcoreBuilder:

XSD -> Ecore -> XSD is not generally a round trip while Ecore -> XSD ->
Ecore generally is.

No. If you start with a schema, it's best to just keep it around.
