Can an XMI file be pulled in or transformed to be used with JPA Diagram Editor?

The JPA Diagram Editor is based on Graphiti framework and actually it IS using an XMI file for diagram representation. At first this file was located in the project diagrams folder. Now, in this folder there is an XML file representing the diagram, but it's used only during opening/saving the diagram. During editing the editor still uses an XMI file. All the project diagram XMI files are now located under:

<workspace folder>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.jpt.jpadiagrameditor.ui/

We made this change, because of a bug:

I hope my explanation was comprehensive enough.

Interesting.
This is a need to know so that we can archive the xmi off with the source code for the project for future references.
Any reason that the xmi file can't be part of the file structure of the project?

Ok the architect is handing me an entity model (XMI) how does on import the xmi so that the editor knows about it...

I've copied it to the place you mentioned and told it to open diagram, yet it's blank on a new project>
