BUG: Collaboration Messages trashed on XMI RTE

[Paolo F Cantoni]

Testing we've performed on (EA 6.5(801.)) prior to rolling out have revealed what we believe to be a serious bug in its handling of Collaboration diagrams during XMI round tripping.

Basically, the Message names get trashed and replaced with a <call> entry.

For example on one diagram: it used to read:
 1.5 getFreeTextMessage() : FreeTextMessage
  it now reads:
 1.5 <call>: FreeTextMessage

From our research it would appear to be an import bug.  The data appears in the XMI but is lost on import (and will overwritten by the wrong data on re-export).  This is a major impact and needs to be rectified immediately with a patch!

Can anyone confirm our research?

The good news is that if you're not using Collaboration diagrams - this release is pretty good!

Sparx have confirmed the BUG and have a fix (planned) for 802.
