Volker,
I did some testing a few months ago with XMI exported from EA (latest
release at that time). Unfortunately, their XMI export had many bugs and
fundamental errors in XMI/UML representation, so I had to give up until they
improv their compliance with the XMI and UML metamodel specs.
You must use the XMI 2.1, UML 2.1 options exporting from EA, as these are
the versions used by UML2.
Regards,
Dave Carlson

Volker,
I have tried something like this and got it working. In my case I do it as a
standalone app.
I use the components4oaw ea_uml2exporter for the direction ea -> uml2. This
is cumbersome and requires some oaw libs.
It uses the ea Java api to talk to ea.
I use the same api to go the other way. The GUIDS are not necessary, only
data values, and some way to link things together for generalizations,
associations, etc.
