XSD2ECORE BUG? [message #686450]

Hi,

I have the following xsd segment:

<element name="gewichtsEinheit">
<simpleType>
<restriction base="string">
<enumeration value="gramm"></enumeration>
<enumeration value="kilogramm"></enumeration>
</restriction>
</simpleType>
</element>

I expect to get a gewichtsEinheitType which gets generated ok.
The problem is:
I get an additional gewichtsEinheitTypeObject datatype created because of the method in XSDCoreBuilder -> checkForPrimitive(eEnum);
I think in this case i would not need the additional Datatype created.

Am i missing something?

I know this is stated in the document XSD2EcoreMapping.pdf on page 18 (5.4) but i do not think this is generally correct though...

Thanks
attila

We generally generate them so that type can be used on a nillable
element. I suppose if the type is anonymous it can't be used for that case.

Given that this is just an EDataType that manifests itself only in the
XyzPackage/XyzFactory interface and Impl, not as some additional Java
file that's being generated, I'm not sure it's a special case worth
addressing. Why does it concern you to have it?
