[ve-dev] NOTICE: All VE extenders who have written override, xmi, or eco

[Rich Kulp <richkulp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This is to all VE extenders who have
written override, xmi, or ecore files for extending VE. There is an EMF
change that is coming. EMF has just made the verifying parser the default
option. This means it verifies completely the format of the xmi file.

What you may need to do is to make sure
that you have the following with the rest of your xmlns: attributes at
the top:

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

This is because a few of our examples
didn't include this. It wasn't strictly necessary before because it still
worked, but it wasn't a valid xml file. The new verifying parser detects
this and won't load the file.

If you used our conversion utility to
convert your override files to the new ChangeDescriptor format, then those
override files will be correct. This notice is only for files that you
created by hand.

This just went out last week for EMF
2.2 12/08 build and so it will be in the next builds of VE too.

Thanks,
Rich
