I'm comparing two ecore files. When I delete an EAttribute, then I retrieve two differences. I don't understand the second Diff. Why there is a eType change? I was expecting only the first one.

  <eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EAttribute" name="name" eType="ecore:EDataType http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore#//EInt"/>




REFERENCE: org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EReferenceImpl@546c585a (name: eStructuralFeatures) (ordered: true, unique: true, lowerBound: 0, upperBound: -1) (changeable: true, volatile: false, transient: false, defaultValueLiteral: null, unsettable: false, derived: false) (containment: true, resolveProxies: false)
VALUE: org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EAttributeImpl@76a9b9c (name: name) (ordered: true, unique: true, lowerBound: 0, upperBound: 1) (changeable: true, volatile: false, transient: false, defaultValueLiteral: null, unsettable: false, derived: false) (iD: false)
KIND: DELETE

The eType difference is a sub-difference of the first one. By deleting the EAttribute, you also suppress the fact that eType of this reference targets an EObject. This is needed so that merge will always be consistent. If you are not interested in those you can easily filter them, see org.eclipse.emf.compare.rcp.ui.internal.structuremergeviewer.filters.impl.SubDiffElementsFilter for reference.
