Hi,
The org.eclipse.emf.ecore.dynamic_package extension point is for
registration of dynamic Ecore packages, not UML packages. If anything,
you would reference the Ecore representation or "definition" of your
UML profile, which is attached to it in an annotation, on this
extension point. I expect that this would make other systems like ATL
work, as the Ecore definition of your profile would then be available
through the usual EMF channels and would look and feel just like any
other Ecore package.
Another possibility is statically defining your profile: generating
the usual EMF-ish API from it, with a static Ecore package
registration. This has the added benefit of providing a convenient
Java API for processing and manipulation of stereotype applications.
Have you considered this option?

That's because the principal content of the profile.uml resource is a
UML Profile, not an Ecore EPackage. If this extension point doesn't
let you actually register the EPackage contained within the EAnnotation
within the Profile, then perhaps this approach won't be fruitful.

Create a new EMF Generator Model and select the option to import from a
UML (UML2) model. Select your profile and complete the wizard to
create your genmodel. Then, generate your model and test code just as
you would for any other model, Ecore or otherwise. The result looks
and feels just like the code generated from an Ecore model.

Hi, JM,
I'm glad it worked out for you. It appears that the only difference is
the introduction of a URI mapping, which I wouldn't have thought should
make any difference. I would have expected the UML dynamic-package
registration to have been sufficient.
But, whatever, it works, and that's good!
