Description Deniz Eren CLA 2021-01-15 20:20:43 EST 
Issue found regarding EMF feature "EMF Generator Model" when setting "UML Import" Option "Camel Case Names" to "Process" configuration.

Issue if that UML property such as "base_Class" gets beautified to be "baseClass" with the "_" character being removed when the "Camel Case Names" options is set to "Process" configuration.

This is an issue because the exact name "base_Class" has semantic importance to UML models. This beautification that removes the "_" character also ultimately results in the failure of the Papyrus static profile as discussed in detail in this Papyrus forum:
https://help.eclipse.org/2020-12/topic/org.eclipse.papyrus.uml.diagram.profile.doc/target/generated-eclipse-help/users/generatingStaticProfiles.html?cp=73_0_1_8_5

Please note that this is not only or specifically applicable to "base_Class" property; it also applies to other UML metamodel stereotype applications, for example "base_Abstraction", "base_Association", "base_Classifier", etc...

This is a problem in the beautification offered by the UML 'added value'. EMF is more consistent.
