Rasha,

It's best to ask on the UML newsgroup, which I've added to the "to" list
of the reply. Did you also install all the prerequisites for UML?
I.e., if you run with -clean -debug and look at the
<workspace>/.metadata/.log or the Error log view, does it complain about
missing dependencies?

Hi Ed and Rasha,

Converting a UML file to an Ecore file starts with the
ConvertToEcoreModelAction from the examples plugins.

You would need to select the root model element of your model (some subtype
of Package) then select
'UML Editor > Convert To... > Ecore Model'

You should then see an options dialog appear.

Hope that Helps.

Cheers,
- James.

Thanks Ed and James for your help. Ed, could you please send to me the
contact info for the UML newsgroup, I couldnt see it in the to list.

James, the problem that I couldnt find the UML Editor. I have the
features UML2Examples and UML2ExamplesSource plugins. I have the
SampleEcoreEdit but not the UML Edit. If you could know what I missed to
install as prerequisites for UML, Itll be highly appreciated.

Cheers,

Rasha

You can download the entire SDK or runtime from here: =
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/downloads/?project=3Duml 2
The prerequisites are also listed. Downloading the SDK for example =
would enable the menus you are looking for.

Or you can selectively choose the source code you want from cvs.

Hi James,

Thanks so much for your help. I have one more question. It works fine when
I have only one package in my file. However when the file contains more
that one package for example another package for a profile, I couldn't
select more than one root model element.

Is there is any way to select more than one root model element?

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Rasha

Hi Rasha,

Unfortunately I believe you can only select one at a time.

Note that the action James is referring to is only an example... If the EMF
model wizard is used instead, and UML chosen as a source type, I believe you
should be able to convert multiple UML packages to Ecore at once...
