Description

Issue found regarding EMF feature "EMF Generator Model" when setting "UML Import" Option "Camel Case Names" to "Process" configuration.

Issue if that UML property such as "baseClass" gets beautified to be "baseClass" with the "" character being removed when the "Camel Case Names" options is set to "Process" configuration.

This is an issue because the exact name "baseClass" has semantic importance to UML models. This beautification that removes the "" character also ultimately results in the failure of the Papyrus static profile as discussed in detail in this Papyrus forum:\ https://help.eclipse.org/2020-12/topic/org.eclipse.papyrus.uml.diagram.profile.doc/target/generated-eclipse-help/users/generatingStaticProfiles.html?cp=73_0_1_8_5

Please note that this is not only or specifically applicable to "base_Class" property; it also applies to other UML metamodel stereotype applications, for example "base_Abstraction", "base_Association", "base_Classifier", etc...

This is a problem in the beautification offered by the UML 'added value'. EMF is more consistent.
