Description

OMG has updated the UML 2.5 Beta UML.xmi because of some duplicate xmi:id's.

Comparing with the version in org.eclipse.uml

• I don't see the xmi:id problem
• multiple spaces are now tabbed saving space
• ">" is now ">"'d redundatlly costing space
• some container opposites are now omitted saving space
• upperValue/lowerValue are differently ordered

all trivial differences.

However if used as is, the first line

causes an Internet round trip failure on http://www.omg.org/spec/MOF/20131001, but the file loads successfully in the UML Model Editor anyway.

I’ll look into fixing this for Luna SR2 and/or Mars.

I’ve reviewed the differences and given how minor they are, I don’t see an urgent need to make any changes in the next service release; rather, this will be addressed in Mars only.

The OMG page at http://www.omg.org/spec/UML/2.5/Beta2/ says this:

While the normative XMI file at http://www.omg.org/spec/UML/20131001/UML.xmi represents the UML 2.5 metamodel correctly, it contains two sets of syntactical errors that will be corrected in UML 2.6. A UML.xmi file with these corrections applied is provided here as early access, please see the comment in this file for further details: http://www.omg.org/spec/UML/2.5/Beta2/UML.xmi

Given that the updated XMI is "early access" and non-normative for UML 2.5, I think it is better to wait until UML 2.6 is released and update the XMI at that time.
