Ed, my boss has been using EMF to generate XSDs that describe ecore
documents; then, he uses XML Spy to validate the ecore documents against
the XSD schema. Everything is working except on thing: xmi:version="2.0"
attribute at the root level. Do you know why this would be, and is there
any elegant way to control the xmi:version level in the serialization?

David,

Is he using a generated XML Schema or an "XMI" Schema?

An XMI schema would allow the version attribute (and would allow it at
all levels of the tree, which is kind of stupid, but then I think XMI
schemas are kind of useless):

<xsd:attributeGroup name="ObjectAttribs">
<xsd:attributeGroup ref="xmi:IdentityAttribs"/>
<xsd:attributeGroup ref="xmi:LinkAttribs"/>
* <xsd:attribute fixed="2.0" form="qualified" name="version"
type="xsd:string" use="optional"/>*
<xsd:attribute form="qualified" name="type" type="xsd:QName"
use="optional"/>
</xsd:attributeGroup>

If you are generating an XML Schema, then you should be using an
XMLResourceImpl for doing the save in which case you won't get an
xmi:version tag in the result.

It's best to ask this type of question in the EMF newsgroup.
