Is there an easy way to import an Ecore into UML2? I just need the
class diagram subset of UML, which Ecore closely resembles.
The reason I ask is because I have a bunch of Ecore models and I would
like to render them (as diagrams in my thesis) and none of Ecore diagram
tools shows the ordered attribute, however, most of the UML tools do.
Cheers,
Ian

I am Using Topcased Ecore and UML graphical viewers. Their Ecore tool
is GREAT! The only problem is, there ecore editor doesn't show the
{ordered} annotations, but their UML tool does. (not really a big
issue, but I know I will get asked about this if I don't include it).
Plus the export to PDF works slightly better on the UML viewer than the
Ecore one.
Once I figure out if these editors are making up the new Ecore Tools, I
will open up a feature request for this.
Cheers,
Ian

Hi,
I kept on looking for this for quite a while now, installed all features
seeming relevant, but I can't find this export (or import) feature for
converting ecore to uml2.
Could anybody please tell please what feature exactly this is part of
(e.g. "UML2 Tools"?), and how I can access it in Eclipse? Is that
right-click .ecore or .genmodel file, choose "Export..." and then there
should be "UML2" somewhere?
Thanks for any hints,
Jörg

Hi, Jörg,
If you have the UML2 SDK installed (not UML2Tools), then you can export a
UML model from any EMF model (*.genmodel).
Make sure that your configuration includes the
org.eclipse.uml2.uml.ecore.exporter plug-in.
Then, in the Generator editor for a *.genmodel (possibly sourced from
Ecore), select the "Generator -> Export Model..." action in the main menu
bar. In the export wizard, select the "UML model" option and proceed from
there.

Alright, I didn't look at the "Generator" menu in the main menu bar!<br>

OK, now that's two menu entries I hadn't seen :)<br>

I had only been looking at the general "Export..." context menu entry.

Ian,
What about EMFT's Ecore Tools project? That lets you render a diagram
directly for the Ecore model without need for UML.

Thanks Stefan,
This is exactly what I was looking for. I thought it would be through
an import, but this makes sense too.
It also answered my question of where did the export XML schema go :-).

Ian
