Hi Michael
I don't understand your emphasis on XMI files; all Ecore, UML, ... files
are XMI.
From my limited observation, the UML2 tooling is designed to work on
UML files and when you have finished your UML preparations you can
export to Ecore to have something to instantiate.
I would therefore look to perform your preparations in the UML domain,
perhaps using the tools directly accessible from the UML Model Editor,
or perhaps by performing equivalent Java calls in your code.

Hi Michael
OMG don't use Ecore; except that rather a lot of practical tooling does
and so sometimes the Ecore slips out; it's supposed to be eliminated.
The new UML specification models are prepared with RAS (Eclipse OCL) and
then transformed to comply with XMI specifications. If nothing else,
this allows UML version Y to prepared with a tool supporting version X.
Unfortunately you couldn't post the link. The MDT/UML2 project has
recently (Juno M2 to M5) added support for UML 2.4.1 which has resulted
in many additional namespaces. As an early user of this support, I
encountered a few xmi:Extension anomalies. It is really rather difficult
to get everything correctly initialized. You may find
/org.eclipse.ocl.examples.pivot/src/org/eclipse/ocl/examples/pivot/uml/UMLUtils.java
provides some inspiration.
I suspect that SoaML may not be using a namespace supported by your
version of MDT/UML2.
You may find it easiest just to adjust the Soa profile to be
namespace-similar to the one that works for Papyrus.

Thought they use MOF.
