[protege-discussion] pprj not saving meta-class

[Len Yabloko]

Hi Tania, 

Thank you for helping me. I did not realize that meta-classes were abstract be default. Now if I set it to concrete - it works without problems.
However, for some reason when I do the opposite (i.e set it to abstract with API) they remain concrete. Do you know why?

Thanks
