Re: writing collection of refobjects through xmiwriter

Hi Ronald,

a link is written if (and only if) both related ends are written, i.e. both are
in the passed collection (resp. in the transitive closure of the "composite"
relation). Is this inconvenient for you in some way ? If so, what is your
usecase of write(Collection) method - why serialization of the set of links
generated by the collection of refobjects is undesirable ?
