Description Mark Broerkens CLA 2011-12-09 09:06:46 EST 
The reqif10.mode should be free of XML specific concepts. This simplifies the serialization to alternative formats. Therefore javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar should not be used.

I propose using the ecore data type EDate (java.util.Date) instead.
Comment 1 Mark Broerkens CLA 2012-04-12 20:37:08 EDT 
EDate is not an option since it doesn't store the required timezone.
Gregorian calendar could be an option.
Comment 2 Mark Broerkens CLA 2013-10-02 05:10:02 EDT 
we will go for GregorianCalendar
Comment 3 Mark Broerkens CLA 2013-10-07 11:35:09 EDT 
The XMLGregorianCalendar is replaced by GregorianCalendar.
This avoids usage of javax.xml... and DatatypeFactory which depend on the installed XML parser.
