Hi Kenn,

One area where the UML API is particularly weak on is protecting itself 
in cases where exceptions are triggered precisely because something has 
made the model ill-formed - e.g., a circular containment hierarchy, a 
circular generalization hierarchy, etc... In some cases (e.g., circular 
containment induced from a package merge operation gone bad), we can 
even induce an infinite loop in the exception handling code that 
attempts to undo the mess. I observed these things in the Eclipse 3.2 
environment I work with (uml 2.0.4) From the CVS logs, I am not sure if 
the issues are still there or not. If they are, is this the sort of 
issue that could be considered for the MDT 1.1 plan?

Cheers,
-- Nicolas.
