Hi Chad, saw one of your commit comments: - Move ModelFacade to org.andromda.core.metafacade and rename to more appropriate MetafacadeModel. I am sorry but this move is not appropriate. The word "facade" has two meanings here that must not be confused: * Metamodel facades hide a single model element and provide methods for code generation and convenience. These belong to org.andromda.core.metafacade. * The ModelFacade you just renamed is a facade for a whole model. A model in that sense is something that can enumerate its elements, can get the name of an element and can provide stereotypes. This facade is an abstraction from concrete models like UML, CWM, user defined, etc. It is much older than the MMF concept and is used to keep the AndroMDA core free from references to org.omg.*. So, the latter "facade" is a "facade" in a completely different sense of the word and should not live in the same package as the metafacades. Could you revert that change? And: can you propose a better name for this object on the list so that confusion will not happen again? Cheers...
