[news.eclipse.modeling.mdt.uml2] Re: UML2 Stereotypes missing when loadi

[Philip Mayer <eclipse@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Ed,

yes, I've read that FAQ entry, whioh seems to require me to explicitely 
load the uml2 JAR. I'd rather not do this for obvious reasons, and as of 
now all class handling issues have been handled perfectly by Eclipse for me.

So, is there any other way of doing this which does not require the URI 
to the JAR file?

Thanks,

Philip
