Hi Lin,
The "di" file is just a placeholder for the other two, mainly a UI construct to "hide" the multiple underlying files.
The "uml" file contains the actual UML model, as per the OMG UML specification for serializing a model. This file only contains the model itself and no notational elements, i.e., no diagram information.
The "notation" file contains all the notational elements of the model (i.e., the diagrams).
All three files are XML files, so you can open them in a text editor and look at their content - but please let the tool modify what they contain lest you get incorrect files.

Hi,
To be precise, the *.uml serialization format is an XMI format, but it
is not the XMI prescribed by OMG for UML models. It is an
Eclipse-specific XMI serialization, as indicated by the declaration of
EMF and Eclipse namespaces instead of the OMG's UML and XMI namespaces.
The UML2 project provides at least the means to convert OMG-compliant
UML XMI resources to Eclipse UML. I would expect that it provides the
reverse (exporting Eclipse UML to OMG UML-XMI) but I don't know the
details of that. Best to ask about it on the eclipse.modeling.mdt.uml2
newsgroup.
Cheers,
Christian

Hi
Just File->SaveAs *.xmi in the UML Model Editor. (Or equivalent *.xmi
URI programmatically.)
Regards
Ed Willink

Now, where's my big red "That Was Easy" button?
:-)
Thanks, Ed
