How to deal with uml model fragments? [message #476597]

Hi

I have been given a folder full of RSM model fragments which were
created from a very large class model.

Other editors have created new model fragments in RSM with a view
to integrating this back into the collective model.

I am using uml2 and tools as part of my hybrid DSL (uml2 being another
DSL). However, while I can load the uml fragments which were part of
the original large class model, I get problems loading the the new uml
fragment in that it errors with
Resource:/long%20path%20name/blah%20.efx' does not exist.
(it does exist just that for some reason can't find it)

I get this error using load resource and the uml2 tree editor.

Is there a workaround or do I need to create my own custom module to to
handle this? I'm happy just to load the new fragment for manipulation
and ignore any links to external packages. I get similar issues in other
areas with bad links (the original model being an auto migration from RR)

Also is it possible to write filters to strip out unwanted items being
shown visually in the tree editor, load resource window etc ie just see
packages, classes, attributes

regards
Steve

Hello Steve,

It's rather question to UML2 component, I've redirected this post to its
newsgroup.
