Kenn,
I looked at this overview carefully. But, I want to do that using the
middleweight extension not by using the heavyweight mechanism. I want to
create an association between a metaclass in my own metamodel and a UML
metaclass. Is it possible? If yes, how can I do that?
Thanks in advance,
Manar

Manar,
I think you just use Load Resource... to load the UML resource with the
model you want to reference and then the classes in it will be available
to create associations in your model.
