Hi Adolfo

Thanks for the prompt comments; some responses in line.

Bug 311214 reopened.

Alex has successfully got the examples to releases/staging, so you don't 
need a second instance, you can Install New Software from 
helios/releases and find the OCL Examples feature.

Some wierd effects are Xtext some mine. This ones almost certainly mine, 
since OCLinEcore works backwards, transiently loading the XMI as the 
text document before replacing it with the human readable form.

With the wierd effects I have to keep prioritising my efforts in terms 
of, "is this better than nothing" and "do I want to risk this change at 
RCx". There is a lot to improve.

Validation is top priority.
Full UML is next.
Performance is next - I'm not sure that nasty heap growth things don't 
happen after a while

Will do, though it's pretty much an EMF FAQ these days.
