Hi,

I want to build a heavyweight extension by merging L0 package. I build
an uml model and convert it to a metamodel. When I added the package
merge as a child for my root element, I didn't find L0 as an option for
the merged packaged?
Why the uml exist as an option for the merged package, although
UML.metamodel.uml is referenced?
also, I want to ask what I should do if I want to extend other packages
like the Primitive Types, or Abstraction package or any of its sub-packages?

Manar,

You would first need to load the resource containing the package you want to
reference, i.e. by selecting the 'Load Resource...' item from the UML Editor
menu. The UML.metamodel.uml resource will have already be loaded since
you've applied a stereotype to your model (by virtue of converting it to a
metamodel), and profiles have references to the metamodel.

The other packages you mention can be found in the models from which the
compliance level models are composed, i.e. Infrastucture and UML.

Manar,

Once you've defined the package merge relationships in your model, you can
"perform" the merge by highlighting the receiving package and selecting the
'Package > Merge...' option from the UML Editor menu.
