Tracy,

It's best to ask about EMF using the EMF newsgroup, which I've added to
the "to" list of the reply.

Since https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=246418, EMF provides
an implementation like this:

public final class XMLCalendar extends XMLGregorianCalendar implements
Serializable

You can use XMLTypeFactory.eINSTANCE.createDate to create instances of it.

It's really a JRE question. Likely there is some magical JRE
incantation for replacing which version created by

DatatypeFactory.newInstance()

which EMF uses under the covers and wraps with the above internal
implementation.

No. But I'm a bit confused though, since the instance value doesn't
need to be java.io.Serializable in order to be saved in a resource...

That's the only way to use a different data type than the one EMF would
use by default.
> Can you help me with this?
I wonder why you need it the data value to be java.io.Serializable? It
shouldn't cause you any problems when saving a resource either way...

It seems to me a bug that the Xerces implementation isn't Serializable....
