Description Henning CLA 2010-11-04 07:49:00 EDT 
In terms of the transformation with ETL it could be desirable to automatically equip model elements with the xmi:id attribute for referencing purposes. This could be a standard setting or an option.
Comment 1 Dimitris Kolovos CLA 2010-11-04 07:52:13 EDT 
This has been now fixed in the SVN. To turn on XMI IDs for a model M, you need to add the following line in your code:

M.resource.useXmiIds = true;

I thought that this would be a better idea than to change the EMF model configuration dialog / ANT task, as this option is specific to XMI-based models (i.e. not Xtext/EmfText or XML-based models). If this sounds reasonable, I'll release a new interim version shortly.
Comment 2 Dimitris Kolovos CLA 2010-11-04 08:02:22 EDT 
Fixed in the latest interim version (0.8.9.201011041158).
Comment 3 Dimitris Kolovos CLA 2010-11-25 08:23:38 EST 
Fixed in 0.9.0.

This probably comes a little bit late but I was just figuring out how to do this and after finding this bug fix I realized this info should be somewhere in the Epsilon Book.
