Try to avoid using Impl classes of the models.  Using RoleDescriptor 
should be sufficient for all your purposes.

I'm not sure how a RoleSet relates to a RoleDescriptor...

I know nothing about this model, but my guess would be that these things 
are contained in different resources while the above will only give you 
the direct contents of the first resource.  There's probably a better 
way to get to them than by brute force, but I'd have to know the model 
structure to know that, and I don't.  For a brute force approach, try 
resourceSet.getAllContents() to visit all the resources in the resource set.
