Hi.
I just learned, that Upper Bound = -2 is valid in Ecore.
It has to do with features "that can be used in features maps
corresponding to wildcards or substitution group heads. Whether the
feature will be single-valued or multi-valued will depend on the
context, i.e., on whether the wildcard or substitution group head is
itself single-valued or multi-valued." (see Eds mail below)
The TopcaseD 1.2 editor flags an error (I run it under
Eclipse 3.4m4, EMF 2.4 newest, e.t.c.)
Can this be supported by the future tools? Shall I add a feature
request, and where?
Best, Philipp
