Even the Library.xsd from the tutorial supports this.

Exactly. So you can actually create two library files, one with a book
the other with a writer, then use Load Resource... to load either
resource in the other resource's editor. Once you do that, you can
create a reference between the book and the writer the same was if if
they were in the same file and when you save, you'll see how the
references between the resources are stored.

Hi Ed,
Is this the extended model (Library) tutorial?
This I think is what I need, but how do I do this with two .xsd files?
(The example is for rational rose model).
Thx Christophe

Christophe,
The schema in this tutorial supports what I described
Tutorial: Generating an EMF Model using XML Schema
< http://help.eclipse.org/ganymede/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclips e.emf.doc/tutorials/xlibmod/xlibmod.html>
The same approach works with any number of XSD files. Just use
xsd:anyURI along with ecore:reference and you'll end up with a
non-containment EReference that supports cross file references.

Ah thanks, I just noticed the fine prints in the wizard page "Specify
one or more....", christophe
Ok, I now have an editor with two packages. I see two extension
parsers are generated, so this is indeed what I need.
Now, what I haven't figured out yet is, if both packages have an element
named "Car", how do I define a unique reference to either "Car" in
package A or in package B? Is it possible by pre-pending a namespace in
the URI of the ecore:reference?
And if this is possible at all, how does the editor handle a case
whereby a referenced element in another resource is not open in the editor?
Many thanks, Christophe

Two definitions of Car doesn't sound so good.

The value specified in ecore:reference="..." is processed *exactly *is
it would if it appeared in type="...". I.e., it must be a QName and if
it's in a different namespace, the schema must contain an important
(just as it would if you specified the QName in the type="...")...

Try it and see. :-P
Cross document references are resolved as they are visited and result in
demand loading additional resources into the resource set. So you'll
end up with an editor that's editing multiple resources.
