RE: XMI reader

Hi Daniel,

Using a system property would be OK I think. Maybe a small addition to the
API is more elegant, but that doesn't really matter to us.

Is it possible for you to create a version based on 0.98, which supports
that?

Another - less important - suggestion is to make the DebugException that is
thrown when an element is not recognized a checked exception i.s.o. a
RuntimeException.

Michiel.

Hi Michiel,
to ignore unknown elements will require to make some modificatins in XMI 
reader. We can use some system property to determine if such elements 
should be ignored or not (the default behaviour of the reader will 
remain the same). Is this solution acceptable for you ?
