Saurav,

It's best to ask about UML on the UML newsgroup, which I've added to the
"to" list of the reply. It sounds like you might be best off mapping
your instances to be UML2 instance and just use UML directly...

Hi Saurav,

There is a tutorial with detailed explanations here :
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/uml2/docs/tutorials/Ecli pseCon2008_Tutorial_Creating_Robust_Scalable_DSL_with_UML_fi les/frame.html
There are also step by step guidelines.
See: http://wiki.eclipse.org/MDT-UML2

Although I've never used UML2Tools for extending UML metamodel, it should
work.

Cheers,
- James.
