Writing entities with a different model implementation [message #424280]

Is there an automatic way of converting existing entities to a different
implementation model (e.g. from Teneo to XMI and back)?

An example: I create the "Customer" entity using a Teneo model factory.
I do operations on it and persist it to the database. But what if I also
need a human-readable version of the same data in XMI format? Is there
an elegant way of doing this?

Thanks,
Robert

One fairly simple approach would be to use
EcoreUtil.copyAll(resource.getContents()) and put those results in an an
XMLResource...
