Issue 18982: XMI.xmi is not merged (uml2-rtf)
Source: Model Driven Solutions (Dr. Edward Willink, ed(at)willink.me.uk)
Nature: Revision
Severity: Significant
Summary: In UML 2.4.1 Infrastructure/Superstructure.xmi provided the raw Packages. XMI.xmi provided the merged packages so that in UML 2.4.1 we have uml::Association.


UML 2.5 abandons the merge and so there is just XMI.xmi. uml::Association exists via an import, but the primary definition is now uml::StructuredClassifiers::Association.

To preserve compatibility with the UML 2.4.1 metamodel, the unmerged packages could be provided in e.g. UMLPackages.xmi, with XMI.xmi providing the merged packages as before.
