Removing target objects from cross-referenced resource [message #653253]

The delete method finds all references to the object within the resource set and clean those up. I thought it should be removing references to recursively cross-document contained children as well, but it seems to do only what the Javadoc says; so do I need to explicitly call EcoreUtil.delete() for the children too?

First call:
EcoreUtil.delete(containerElement, true);
Then call:
EcoreUtil.delete(containedTarget, true);

For children contained in another resource, yes.
