[Uml-devel] Howto compile SVN and file format changes question

[Achim Spangler]

Hi Oliver,
now I found the real problem:
The new <UML:Namespace> tag was introduced since umbrello 1.3.2 .
After manually inserting the <UML:Namespace> tag into the xmi file, everything 
loads fine ( i.e. the types are automatically resolved ).

So maybe the backward compatibility node should be enhanced to insert this 
tag, when it isn't found in a xmi file.

Thanks,
Achim
