[emf-dev] Generate ecore model with "_" in type name

[Christopher Jaun <cmjaun@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm creating a new EMF project and loading
a .xsd file containing complex data types. My type names contain an "_"
as seen below.

<xsd:complexType name="my_Type">

        <xsd:sequence>
         
  <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="1"
         
      name="arg1" type="xsd:string"/>
         
  <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="1"
         
      name="arg2" type="xsd:string"/>
        </xsd:sequence>
 </xsd:complexType>

The generated model strips the "_"
out of the type name. I was wondering what the reason was disallowing "_"
in type names and if there was any to work around this issue?

Steps to reproduce: I'm using Eclipse
3.1 and EMF 2.1

1. New > Project > Eclipse Modeling
Framework > EMF Project
2. On second page of wizard select
XML Schema
3. On next page select a .xsd file
containing the above complexType.
4. Generated model will show type name
as myType instead of my_Type.

I'm pretty sure the "_" is
removed in XSDEcoreBuilder in the validName method. It calls parseName
passing a "_" as the delimiter.

protected String validName(String name,
boolean isUpperCase)
  {
    List parsedName = parseName(name,
'_');
.
.
.

Thanks for any information.
