Conversion of an attribute whose type is an enumeration fails on ClassCastException when converting from POJO to EMF.

The converting method in org.eclipse.emf.texo.xml.ModelEMFConverter looks like this:

  protected Object convertEAttributeValue(final Object value, final EDataType eDataType) {
    if (value instanceof Enum<?>) {
      final EDataType enumDataType = getDataTypeOrBaseType(eDataType);
      Check.isInstanceOf(enumDataType, EEnum.class);
      final EEnum eeNum = (EEnum) enumDataType;
      for (final EEnumLiteral enumLiteral : eeNum.getELiterals()) {
        // the code generation template uppercases enum
        if (enumLiteral.getName().toUpperCase().equals(((Enum<?>) value).name())) {
          return enumLiteral;
        }
      }
    }

    ...
  }

Perhaps the value to return should be "enumLiteral.getInstance()" instead of the bare "enumLiteral"?
