[news.eclipse.modeling.m2m] Re: [QVTO] forcing late resolve

["kaiserlautern" <comouraf-lixo@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Radek,

I begun the transformation using different passes, one for the main tree 
(containment tree) and one for each type of reference, in a very 
deterministic approach. But then, I don't remember well why -maybe by 
laziness- , I decided to use late resolve with the last type of reference. 
As I did not remember this detail, it took me almost two hours to realize 
the problem, because looking at the generated target model, all references 
were there ;-)
Besides, just to check, I removed the 'late' from the resolves, but it broke 
the transformation from the beginning, so I can't see other way out, other 
than using the multiple-pass approach to the end. Or am I missing something?
