XSD2ECORE Many "Types" generated [message #686471]

Hi,

I have tested xsd2ecore on maven-v4_0_0.xsd.
The following occurs for elements with :

<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="dependency" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" type="Dependency"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

Dependency Type is reused in the xsd however in the ecore file DependencyType2,3 etc will get generated. Exactly as many as there are references in the xsd file.

Why does the xsd2ecore does not recognise that it handles about the same "type" every time and so it should not generate ones...

Any opinion about this?

Thanks
attila

P.S. If you want to see what happens simply import the maven.xsd and you will see what i am talking about...

I expect additional types to be coming only from anonymous types nested
within the element declaration itself. Certainly I'm not seeing a
problem with the particular scenario you've characterized.

It doesn't believe such a glaring error could exist...

Well, as I expected, it's three versions of "DependenciesType"
not "DependencyType" while there is exactly one type called
"Dependency" derived from the one complex type named "Dependency".
Of course the three types come from the three elements named
"dependencies" each with a slightly different (different annotation)
version of a structurally identical complex type definition.

Hi Ed,

Thanks, you are the boss Smile

Could have imagined some other behaviour but if that is how it goes then ok.
