The OCLinEcore editor did not discard any valid content.
In the UML case, the UML Constraint is represented in Ecore as an EOperation for which there is no message support, so addition of a body$message detail was a waste of time and the OCLinEcore editor has no obligation to persist garbage in OCL EAnnotations.
In the direct Ecore case, the constraint is represented as a constraint EAnnotation for which the body$message detail is useful.
This once again demonstraes that elaborating OCL expressions outside OCL runs into a myriad of tooling difficulties. THe proposal to elaborate within OCL by returning a Tuple of values should bypass supporting tools.

Description
Created attachment 234608\ the two example projects
Hi,
The OCLinEcore editor discards modification I made on my Ecore model. The Ecore model is generated from a UML Metamodel. The way of doing this is described in the documentation available here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=55337
When both the Ecore model and the Generator Model were generated from de UML Metamodel, I opened the Ecore model with the OCLinEcore Editor and I tried to add custom validation message by suffixing the invariant name with the message between brackets. I can save the modification, but it seems not persisted, as I can see if I close and re-open the Ecore model.
The attachment contains two projects.
The 'OCLinEcoreExample' project contains:
The second project contains:
In both case, the metamodel is simple: an Hotel contains an undetermined number of rooms (each room has a room's number). Nonetheless an Hotel can't contain the room 1408 (the Devil's room).
The constraint is written in OCL:\ self.room->select(r : Room | r.number = 1408)->isEmpty()
In both case, the constraint is well valuated, but I can modify the Ecore model with the OCLinEcore Editor only for the Ecore model located in the first project. Changes made in this Editor for the Ecore model generated from UML are discarded.
OCL version is the 3.3.0.
Regards,
Nicolas
