[ATL] How does ATL handle XMI? [message #547459]

Hello guys

I am a newcomer to ATL and have a number of questions regarding XMI support. I am trying to launch the UmlActivityDiagram2MSProject use case, the one where the metamodel for the subset of the UML Activity Diagram is found in a XMI file called UMLDI-20030818.xmi. My questions are:

1. Do I have to transform this UMLDI-20030818.xmi file to a .ecore file? If so, how can I do this?

2. I presume that every model processed by an ATL transformation program must be built using an external-to-Eclipse tool and then exported to XMI. Does ATL fully support XMI so this exchange works seamlessly?

3. Is it possible to export a .ecore metamodel to XMI using Eclipse, ATL and EMF?

Thanks a lot in advance. I appreciate your help.

/TB

ATL delegates to EMF "model handling", so you can create model inside
Eclipse thanks to EMF (or any tool using EMF).
This wiki entry could give some helps to start:

All XMI files created thanks to EMF could be used by ATL.

An .ecore model is an XMI file that conforms to Ecore metamodel.
