This seemed to do the trick as it does extend the namespace.
 
If I define a schema twice the types are added again so when I later extract 
properties I see propertyX, propertyX1, propertyX2 and so on one for each time 
I called define with the same schema.
 
Is there a way to check for the presence of a type so it is not added twice - 
perhaps one could decide if the existing type should be overridden during the 
new define?
 
I guess from your answer that one shold look within the SDOXSDEcoreBuilder?

If the requirement is just to add new types to a namespace, as opposed to
modifying existing types (which is nasty), I don't think it would be hard
to add this support.

This is open source, maybe you want to help :-)

Initially, I would suggest adding a new instance variable in XSDHelperImpl
- extensibleNamespaces (false by default, but can be set to true) - and
then change this line in XSDHelperImpl.define():

        if (ePackage == null || TypeHelperImpl.getBuiltInModels
().contains(ePackage))

to this:

        if (extensibleNamespaces || ePackage == null || TypeHelperImpl.
getBuiltInModels().contains(ePackage))

Then, it's a matter of debugging to make sure that in SDOXSDEcoreBuilder,
when a type is requested that already exists, it just uses the existing
type and moves on. New types would get added in the usual way.

I think this may be related to, and helped by, the work that will be done
in TUSCANY-1085 (not the patch provided by Fuhwei, but the proper fix that
needs to be done), which needs to ensure that previously loaded types are
found in SDOXSDEcoreBuilder.
