ID in derived EClass seems the same in different containments [message #896226]

Hello,

I have a model, which contains a abstract EClass with two attributes and one of it is an ID.
That EClass is extended by two others EClass declarations.

The validation doesn't succeed because I use in different containments the same ID.

I have attached a miniexample for demonstrating.

On the picture you can see, that the validation says that both in another list contained IDs collide with the first one (Ex Definition1 Test).

Unique in what context?

An ID means it must be unique within the scope of all objects of all
types in any given resource.

Yes, I'd expect that. Perhaps you want to make use of EReference.eKeys
so that the containment reference itself declares which combination of
attributes in the referenced class are unique within the context of a
single containment list.

Thanks for the advice, it is what I need.
