XML to Papyrus UML model [message #1771932]

Hello,

I am wanting to create a Papyrus UML model from a set of XML files (each with their own XSDs).

Does anybody know the best way to do this? I've been looking around the web and there is soooo much stuff out there I'm not entirely sure where to begin.

I've been looking at creating an EMF model from my XSD, then using some model to model transformation technology (maybe QVTo or ATL?) to transform from the schema based ecore model to a Papyrus UML model...

However, I'm having difficulty understanding if this is
A) the right thing to be doing
B) if there is a better way
C) getting it to work (I've generated a model, but can't figure out how to load XML into the model).

Does anybody know of examples of this type of thing been done?

Any guidance is much appreciated.

Hi

Using EMF to do XSD2Ecore is a good starting point.
Then in the Sample Ecore Editor, select the EPackage and use Ecore2UML from the main tool bar menu.

Not sure what you mean by the XML loading.

If you are stuck with XSD at some level, you may find that UML and Papyrus add little value. You can use the Sirius based Ecore diagram editor to get graphical pictures of Ecore from your XSD. More modeling tools work with Ecore than UML so consider just Ecore unless you need UML to integrate into a much larger system architecture.
