Description Henning Heitkoetter CLA 2010-07-22 04:26:22 EDT 
The Bpmn2Resource generates IDs for all elements (to ensure references by ID), even for those that do not have a corresponding structural feature (e.g. Import). Furthermore, an ID is generated even if the ID attribute has already been set, leading to a duplicate attribute.

The deserialization of resources with one of these errors fails with a FeatureNotFoundException; resp. SAXParseException.

Solution: Explicitly set IDs on save, where available, instead of useUUIDs=true.

Fix coming.
