The GMF project is looking to provide interesting graphical editing
capability on top of EMF and GEF so you might want to ask about
graphical things on that newsgroup. I can't really answer many
questions about EclipseUML. I think they do provided statechart diagram
editing. I believe they are moving their focus to fully supporting UML2
with less focus on direct Ecore editing. Since UML2 can be converted to
Ecore, little is lost from such a focus. Ecore itself doesn't support
Statecharts, since Ecore is effectively a simplified subset of UML class
diagrams, so I think you need UML2 to represent statecharts. EMF
generally supports XMI serialization for most models, so I think you
should already be able to save .ecore files and that that is XMI.
You'll probably want to look into the UML2 project as well.

Ed,
Thanks very much for the information. Since Ecore does not support
statecharts it seems like this is not a good direction to go in.
I was hoping Ecore would be more complete.
I tried out EclipseUML last Friday and it seemed a little rough
around the edges but I really liked that while I entered UML
various parts of Java code magically appeared. I was using Rhapsody
from I-logix and would have been delighted with a feature like this.
What is the the full name of the GMF newsgroup. I think UML2 does
support StateChart models but then there is the export to XMI question.
Thanks for the reply,
Len

Len,
Ecore is intentionally a tiny core subset. GMF stands for Graphical
Modeling Framework.
http://www.eclipse.org/gmf/
A .uml2 file, like a .ecore file, is already serialized as XMI. We are
currently helping them prepare to support XMI 2.1.

Does anyone know of a package I can install in

Would appreciate a pointer to such a plug-in if it exists.
