Re: Getting a null pointer exception while commiting

Hi Olivier,
it is strange that you are able to read the attached model. When I tried 
to import it, XMI reader complained about the format of the XMI file 
(empty <XMI.field> tags are not supported - you have them in the 
multiplicity). After I replaced all <XMI.field/> by 
<XMI.field>1</XMI.field>, I successfully imported the metamodel and 
instantiated it without any exception.
Regards,
Martin
