Ed,
I posted this question first on the M2M group and then thought, it might
be more of an OCL question. Sorry, not sure where OCL questions go?

Christophe,
It's news://new.eclipse.org/eclipse.modeling.mdt.ocl I've added it to
the "to" list of the reply, so no need to repost.

Hi Christophe
The simple answer is no chance.
The MDT/UML2 project has capabilities to convert advanced UML
associations such as {subsets} to Ecore with special EAnnotations that
genmodel recognises. Some of these are realised by EFeatureMap.
The MDT/OCL project provides abilities to use OCL expressions on UML or
Ecore meta-models, however I am not aware of any MDT/OCL functionality
that is able to recognise the UML idiom in Ecore and so allow the UML
syntax to be used in OCL. (It is just possible that this functionality
may appear in MDT/OCL for Indigo.)
In practice, EFeatureMap is just the type of an EAttribute so you may be
able to use it as an EDataType. Or you may code custom Java helpers to
perform useful actions on the EDataType.
Regards
Ed Willink

Hi Ed,
Thank you. I managed to read out an EFeatureMap, using QVTO blackbox.
