It's not clear what you're doing. UML2 is already generated so perhaps
you just need to use that.

EMF can parse any XMI given you have an Ecore model for it, e.g.,
UML2.ecore is used to parse UML2...

Yes, if the instance is wrong, errors will be diagnosed.

What's that?

The resource throws exceptions if the syntax is invalid. Many editors
catch this exception and show what's possible to parse. Many models also
add constraints on top of just the XMI parsing, e.g., in Ecore it's
invalid for more than one classifier in a package to have the same name...

You've switched from XMI to XML now. Validating XML in general can be
done with an XML schema. EMF can be used as an XML binding framework,
similar to JAXB.
