Description Daniel Trierweiler CLA 2011-10-05 08:01:32 EDT 
When I serialize my model and it serialization fails, it throws:

org.eclipse.xtext.parsetree.reconstr.XtextSerializationException: Serialization failed

I call it by using this code:
try {
 resource.save(Collections.EMPTY_MAP);
} catch (IOException e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
}

Sadly the results are, that my file is overwritten, which I don't want to happen. It would be nice to add a flag for example, to trigger this behaviour.

Best,
Daniel
