First to start I have never used modeling tools before so please excuse if I ask some basic quesitons.

I got a model (EAP file) that I believe was created in enterprise architect. I got a trial version and they opened up fine. But this is not something that I will use very much so can't justify the costs of EA as I just want to view and understand the models at this point. I'm not looking to change it. At least at this time. I have tried to export from EA to xmi and create a new EMF project importing it but keep getting errors no matter what I do export wise. Usally some java error like:



org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi.IllegalValueException: Value 'complete' is not legal. (file:/home/demo/sca/model_sca41_uml21_xmi21.xmi, 28, 329)



First is this the right thing to do? Should I be looking at some other SW to do this/view these models?

It's best to ask about this in the UML2 forum, or maybe it's something
supported by the Papyrus tools.

As far as our experience goes, XMI files exported from Enterprise
Architect can not properly be opened/imported in Eclipse UML. The EA
uses a lot of proprietary information that cannot be loaded. Maybe the
YAKINDU EA-Bridge (www.yakindu.com/eabridge, free trial available) is of
interest for you, it loads eap-files inside Eclipse without
import/export and even without the need to install the Enterprise
Architect. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact me
directly.
