.ecore model naming conventions? [message #381188]

I have two .xsd files.
First.xsd has no includes and defines two elements and some simple&complex
types.
Second.xsd includes First.xsd and defines more elements and simple&complex
types.

When creating a EMF project from Second.xsd
- the name of the .ecore file and root object name is based on First.xsd
(the included file).
- after deleting just the elements from First.xsd the .ecore file and root
object name is based on Second.xsd.

My expectations were that the .ecore file and root object name would always
be based on Second.xsd, the file being passed into the EMF project creation
wizard. It appears to be choosing the first file that it finds an element
in.

The question:
Is there a way to override this default behavior so Second.xsd is used as
the .ecore file and root object name?

Bernie,

Please use the EMF newsgroup for EMF questions; I've added it to the
"to" list of the reply.

You can change the name of the .ecore file on the last page of the
wizard by clicking on the file name and changing it. All other
properties you can change either with annotations in the schema

XML Schema to Ecore Mapping
< http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/docs/overviews/XMLSchema ToEcoreMapping.pdf>

or via properties in the .genmodel; all genmodel properties are
preserved when you "Reload..." the model the next time.
