UML to XMI export programmatically? [message #417473]

There is a UML to XMI Interchange Format converter as part of the Export in
'Eclipse'. I am looking for how to programmatically do the same thing. I
know I can build a XSLT or JET2 or something else; however, what I need to
be able to do is to programmatically invoke the same underlying
functionality (do not want the wizard dialog box...just the conversion
functionality).

I'm new to eclipse - might this be part of the puzzle?

Gary,

Are you simply trying to save a UML instance using an interchangeable
format? Maybe XMI2UMLResource does that? I'm not really sure where
this export action is; I don't work with UML much, though I have it in
my workspace. You'd create such a resource using
XMI2UMLResource.Factory.INSTANCE.create... It's best to ask about UML
on the UML newsgroup, which I've added to the "to" list of the reply.

Hi Gary,

Have a look at UMLEditor.doSaveAs().

It basically creates a new resource from a resource set...
resourceSet.createResource(uri,
XMI2UMLResource.UML_CONTENT_TYPE_IDENTIFIER);

Then the resource is then saved out. The conversion should happen
automatically.

I hope that helps.

Cheers,
- James.
