This is normal.  I'm using a metamodel (for traceability) that imports
the UML metamodel.  The JMI interfaces generated for my traceability
models include those for UML models.  It's even so that I can only
associate a traceability node with a UML model element if I load my
UML-XMI files into an extent conforming to the UML metapackage from
the traceability models.  Elements in extents conforming to the UML
metapackage from the standard UML DI metamodel cannot be referenced
from my traceability elements.

I do wonder why the Spring metamodel uses the 3GL metamodel.  Do you
just want to reuse elements declared in the 3GL metamodel or do you
still consider the 3GL elements as being from another metamodel?

Regards,
Pieter.
