Tweaking genModel from schema [message #527629]

Have a XML Schema that I use to generate my ecore and genmodel. So far
I have been able to get away with only keeping my Schema in SCM.

There are a couple of minor issues with how the user is presented with
the descriptions of the model instance attributes. Some of them are
nonsensical and I would like to change that. Typically this is an easy
change to the Property Description in the genmodel, but I would rather
not change the file directly.

Am already using XML Schema annotations to add operations and code to my
generated classes and I see there is a way to add Javadoc as well.

Is there a way to change the genmodel's Property Description of an
attribute from within the XML Schema?

If not what is the best approach to this issue?

thanks,
John

John,

There is no other way. Moreover, once the plugin.properties exist, the
value of any given property will never be changed via property merging.
Only new properties will be added.
