Description

If you have a class "Super" with an attribute "size" and a subclass "Sub"
(i.e. class "Sub" inherits via generalization from "Super"), then an OCL
constraint on "Sub" will not recognize the attribute "size".

This cannot be a defect in the OCL parser for EMF. EAttributes are always inherited and Ecore does not define any "visibility" mechanism that could interfere with inheritance.

Because OCL is defined by the UML specification, I am speculating that perhaps the reporter has implemented a custom Environment for UML (which does have a "private" visibility for non-inherited attributes) that makes only a UML class's visible attributes accessible in the corresponding Ecore classifier?
