Hi Joachim,
You can have a look at this article
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/uml2/docs/guides/UML2_2. 0_Migration_Guide/guide.html
at the section entitled programmatic migration and use a similar technique
to save to the .xmi extension ( the registerExtensions() method would have
to be modified slightly in addition to other small changes .. but that
should do it for you ). In addition, the code there shows how to properly
update references.
Cheers,
- James.

James,
I think we need to add an article that explains, in detail, how to convert
from an Eclipse UML model to an OMG UML or CMOF model and back, both via the
editor and programmatically. I'll be providing better support for this kind
of thing in the soon-to-be-proposed MST project (see
http://wiki.eclipse.org/MDT/MST-Proposal), but an article would also help
(and I'd be willing to write it)...

Hi Kenn,
Yes I agree, there should be some article explaining the ins and outs of
..cmof vs. .xmi vs .uml and how to convert back and forth.
Perhaps even explaining the differences between XMI and XML and the pros and
cons of both (inheritance etc.).
I also am a little uncertain about how to manage the overlap between
proposed features of the MST project and what is already supported in the
UML2 project.
Would moving existing xmi and cmof functionality from the UML2 project and
moving to the MST project make sense?
Cheers,
- James.

Well, I already have some code that extends editors in EMF and UML2 to ease
the conversion. The support for XMI and CMOF is useful in UML2, but its
approach is from a UML2 perspective, e.g. things that don't belong in OMG
UML or CMOF are preserved in annotations. In MST, support would be from a
CMOF perspective, so stuff that isn't needed is simply discarded. Basically,
I think there's a need for this kind of support in both projects.
