[news.eclipse.modeling.gmf] Re: Question about linked emf and gmf editor

[Bill Hinge <steve.orobec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have this working as I want via one of my relations to the UML ecore,
hence it does appear that GMF models do not need contain all the node
mappings in gmfmap that the EMF model provides.

This seems to indicate a bug in my implementation of the SBVR ecore
(generated from xsd - I don't need perfection at this stage just a
strawman placeholder so can probably live with this)

Steve
