Ability to load an instance of ecore model file(.xmi) #6

We tried using your library to parse an meta model made by Java EMF librray. We were able to parse the .ecore file with your library and facing issues when we try to load an instance of this model stored in a .xmi file. We have no issues reading the ecore file, but we are wondering the capability of reading an .xmi file. Is this use case supported by your library or we have to write an extension for your library to parse the .xmi file and have an EObject as output?

You can try to use the constructor XmiResource(EPackage epackage, EFactory factory) and provide your generated EPackage and EFactory. Actually, I do not know if this was ever tested. The TypeScript implementation of XmiResource is more mature and needs to be backported to C#.
