Hi all,

this is my first post on this list - so please excuse me if this has 
already been discussed.
I am playing with AndroMDA (which uses Netbeans MDR) and I stumbled over 
an issue with the ordering/isOrdered attribute on an UML:AssociationEnd.
Enterprise Architect uses the isOrdered attribute in its exported XMI (1.2).
This is not regognized by the MDR.
Other tools (like MagicDraw) use and ordering="ordered" attribute to 
mark an AssociationEnd ordered.
This is perfectly recognized by the MDR.

After a quick look into the XMI 1.2 spec over at OMG I a tempted to say 
that EA is (in this case ;-) ) right using the isOrdered attribute.

Right now I am using an XSLT-Stylesheet to "fix" this issue so I can use 
the EA exported XMI with AndroMDA.

Is this problem known?

With best regards,
Lars KÃ¶dderitzsch
