I believe that future versions of the SDO spec (maybe 3.0 - around end of year) will do this. SDO 2, on the other hand, is just a 1.4 API. > That said, I've been completely ignoring the SDO project right > now. I'm still trying to get my head around all the sca stuff.

The SDO spec leaves open the possiblity of generating typed List accessors, for example. So I think it's quite reqsonable to add a generator option to generate 1.5 interfaces. Right now, I'm working on the generator to decouple the codegen from EMF (I assume you've seen that discussion in the "Framework for StAX-based model loading" thread). Once I get that cleaned up, it would be a good time to look at adding a 1.5 option. If you'd be willing to help with that, that would be great. > > That said, the SDO project could probably change over.
