[news.eclipse.modeling.m2m] Re: [QVTO] Auto-validation of launch configu

[Sergey Boyko <sboyko@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi alex,

Validation that is invoked during launch configuration editing uses per 
transformation ResourceSet instances. So given model being effectively 
loaded only on first attempt. Subsequent calls just retries cached 
Resource instance.

However I understand that even first loading can be very time consuming.
Raising CR to verify/modify that behavior sounds reasonable.
