Same problem with UML:Generalization and UML:Abstraction. When I remove a generalization or an abstraction in the diagram, it's still in the XMI file (in the UML:Model tree).

I've looked for a way to remove the generalization/abstraction/association in the model using the GUI but I can't find any.

For me, it's a GUI issue. It's correct to keep things in the model when we remove them in the diagram. But there should be a way to edit the model. Two possible solutions :

- add associations, generalizations and associations in the "logical view"	part of the left tree (so it would be possible to delete them)
- in the diagram editor, add a shorcut that means "remove in the diagrame AND in the model"

In Rational Rose, the model components like associations appear in a "model tree", and so it is possible to remove them. And in the diagram editor there are two ways to remove something :

- the "delete" key means "remove in the diagram"
- the Control-d shortcut means "remove both in the diagram AND in the model"

This is a big issue for me cause I've written a kind code generator that reads the XMI file. So right now I've got to clean up the XMI by hand.

Thank you for your work, umbrello is great !
