Re: [mdt-bpmn2.dev] ItemDefinition.import transient?

Thanks Reiner. It looks like you were right, the xsd in the BPMN 2.0 spec does not have an "import" element, although the class diagram shows an optional reference to an Import - good call ;) I was able to get around this by resolving the Import reference in the Resource loader.

Enjoy your vacation :)


Cheers!
