Description

Add support for http:///org/eclipse/emf/ecore/util/ExtendedMetaData annotations so that XSD/Ecore mapper look better.

Just an FYI, also see how EuGENia uses annotations (http://www.eclipse.org/epsilon/doc/articles/eugenia-gmf-tutorial/). They just add the namespace to indicate tagging for the element. OCLinEcore seems to handle them fine, so there is no special mapping needed, but I thought I would point it out since its unusual.

It would also be nice if annotations could be placed on the same line like EMFatic as well. Right now annotations from a XSD2Ecore create more lines than the actual Ecore. For example:

class Parent\ {\ annotation 'http:///org/eclipse/emf/ecore/util/ExtendedMetaData'\ (\ name = 'Parent',\ kind = 'elementOnly' );\ attribute name : 'ecore.xml.type'::String { ordered }\ {\ annotation 'http:///org/eclipse/emf/ecore/util/ExtendedMetaData'\ (\ kind = 'element',\ name = 'name' );\ }\ property children : Child[*] { ordered composes !resolve }\ {\ annotation 'http:///org/eclipse/emf/ecore/util/ExtendedMetaData'\ (\ kind = 'element',\ name = 'children' );\ }\ }
