Hi Jose,
the application does not work because there is a number of
associations in CWM metamodel that are marked as protected. Since the
behavior for visibility other than public is not specified in MOF,
this will not work and the metamodel can be considered as not
wellformed. When I was trying to simulate your problem for the first
time, I haven't realized that I changed my copy of the metamodel long
time ago so that all associations are public. You can do the same
thing to make it work - just replace all occurrences of
"protected_vis" by "public_vis" in the XML file. If you have time, you
may also try to automate this process for future users by extending
our XMI diff file for CWM to do this change.
After you do that, you will need to regenerate the JMI interfaces for
CWM, since the interfaces for protected associations were not
generated previously.

Sorry for calling you Jose :). I've just realized that your name is
Javier. Apologies...
