Hello, recently I am trying to repeat the transform of the Example DSL2EMF. And I found I can't transform the .xml file into .xmi as it says. I wonder what's the problem and what should I do to achieve this transform. Thank you!

If you're referring to this example, I'm afraid I must disappoint you: it depends on AM3 for XML to XMI conversion, and AM3 has been discontinued.

If you want to read XML files as general as models, you may want to look into MoDisco's XML discoverer, which can also convert XML to XMI.

If you want to read/write XML that conforms to a schema (XSD), then you can look into EMF XSD, which generates Eclipse plug-ins that make available XSDs as Ecore metamodels.

Cheers,
Dennis
