["Kenn Hussey" <Kenn.Hussey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Timothy,

There is a utility in UML2, the package merger, which we use to accomplish 
this. In order to use it, though, you would need to use UML as the source of 
your model instead of using Ecore directly, as there is no support for this 
in EMF/Ecore.

If you take a look the source model for UML2, you'll see how the model needs 
to be structured. Basically, you create an empty UML package that merges the 
packages who content you want it to contain. Then, before you load/reload 
your EMF model, you run the package merge utility (either progammatically or 
via the sample UML editor).
