Creating EMF project from xmi file [message #469720] Tue, 30 January 2007 21:12 Go to next message

Configuration,
Eclipse 3.2.1 Release
UML 2.0.2 Release


I am trying to create a new EMF project based on an xmi file that was
exported by the Enterprise Architect UML modeling tool.

I created the model with EA, then exported an xmi file. I guess (but not
sure) the xmi is a UML2 model. Beginning of xmi contains:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<!DOCTYPE XMI SYSTEM "UML_EA.dtd">
<XMI xmi.version="1.1" xmlns:UML="omg.org/UML1.3" timestamp="2007-01-29
12:35:07">


Using the File/New/Project wizard, I select EMF project, then select the UML
importer. The UML importer dialog opens, lets me select the xmi file and
press the load button. At this point, there are no obvious errors or
warnings.

However, the NEXT and FINISH buttons are disabled, so I am not able to
continue with the import process.

I tried pressing F1 and/or clicking the ? in the dialog, but the help topics
do not include anything about UML import.

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Michael,

Open up the "Error Log" view... go to Window > Show View > PDE Runtime >
Error Log.
Can you see any errors or warnings in there. The importer might have
thrown some exception internally ...
If you can't see anything in the log, please post the file that is causing
you grief and I'll have a look.

Regards,

- James.

James,
There are no entries in Error Log, so here is the xmi. Thanks for offering
to look.

Michael,

UML2 only supports import of UML 2.1 models serialized in XMI 2.1. It would
be better if wizard notified you when an invalid input like this is
provided, so please open a Bugzilla report and we'll make the necessary
changes.

Kenn,

I exported the xmi file using UML 2.1 format. This resulted in an error
being generated when the UML importer tried to load the file:
The dialog has "Load Problem" in the title with a message of "The class
'Type' is not a valid classifier".

This may reflect an error in the model I'm trying to import.

If you can comment I will appreciate.

Thanks
Michael

Michael,

Are you talking about a different model this time? The one you showed a
snippet from appeared to be UML 1.3, XMI 1.1.

If you can post a sample XMI file that demonstrates the problem, we'll look
into it.

Kenn,
This is the same model that I attached to the previous message, but I
exported it using a UML 2.1 option in EA, so my expectation is that it is
UML 2.1.

I posted the file to the bug report

Hi Michael,

Open up the "Error Log" view... go to Window > Show View > PDE Runtime >
Error Log.
Can you see any errors or warnings in there. The importer might have
thrown some exception internally ...
If you can't see anything in the log, please post the file that is causing
you grief and I'll have a look.

Regards,

- James.

There are no entries in Error Log, so here is the xmi. Thanks for offering

Michael,

UML2 only supports import of UML 2.1 models serialized in XMI 2.1. It would
be better if wizard notified you when an invalid input like this is
provided, so please open a Bugzilla report and we'll make the necessary
changes.

Kenn,

I exported the xmi file using UML 2.1 format. This resulted in an error
being generated when the UML importer tried to load the file:
The dialog has "Load Problem" in the title with a message of "The class
'Type' is not a valid classifier".

This may reflect an error in the model I'm trying to import.

If you can comment I will appreciate.

Thanks
Michael

Michael,

Are you talking about a different model this time? The one you showed a
snippet from appeared to be UML 1.3, XMI 1.1.

If you can post a sample XMI file that demonstrates the problem, we'll look
into it.

Kenn,
This is the same model that I attached to the previous message, but I
exported it using a UML 2.1 option in EA, so my expectation is that it is
UML 2.1.

I posted the file to the bug report
