EMF and UML
I am a Eclipse newbie so pardon my ignorance please. I did already search all the forums and did not find a similar question. I will be developing a RCP application. I have read the EMF book. A lot of great features. I have bought the Plug-In book and am reading it now. From what I know about EMF it is rock solid, but not a UML tool. I don't have any of the tools that EMF supports for importing. I am starting to create the RCP EMF model in EMF, not importing it from somewhere else. After the EMF model is created for my RCP application there is a lot more work to be done with UML Use Cases, State Diagram etc.... What is the recommended path to go from a EMF model to a UML model "Papyrus" or "UML Modeler" or something else? Any Gotchas to avoid?

Thanks both Eds for your replies.
To Ed Merks' question:
"I'm not sure what kind of model you are making so I don't understand it's potential relationship to UML... Why not use Papyrus tooling to make a UML model directly?" Sure why not. But I don't see EMF base classes (EObject, EString, etc....) in Papyrus. Has anyone just imported the EMF classes in Papyrus? I would not know where to start. Please remember I am an Eclipse newbie.
To Ed Willink's comment:
Are you suggesting to import the EMF classes (EObject, EString, etc...) and then build & design in Papyrus from there? Or are you saying do all the problem domain design that EMF supports in the EMF.ecore model then export to Papyrus. Then I would assume based on the wording in the answer that there is no round-tripping between EMF and Papyrus and there is no change merge going from EMF to Papyrus either. Am I am correct?
