Why? It's better to assume you won't be able to get that to work.

Hello,
Sorry,but i misunderstood your message.
En fact ,I want to manipulate the fichier.UML via JDOM (through a Java class).
Gold after my research I knew that for 'parsing' a file with JDOM it should be .XML not . UML .

Hi

That is very unwise. *.uml is for the many Eclipse UML namespaces. *.xmi
for the many OMG UML namespaces.

Of course, if you wish to say good bye to most of the Eclipse Modeling
tools, just go ahead and change the extension.

If you really really want to be foolish, probably because of some
misguided corporate policy that you would do better to get changed, you
should develop a plugin that ensures that all the required content type
registrations are in place for UML namespaces against the *.xml
extension and that you use no applications that register resource
factories for the *.xml extension. [If you don't know what the foregoing
means, you really do not want to do it.]

Hi

That is differently unwise.

One if the major purposes of the MDT/UML2 projects is to support XMI to
Java classes serialisation. This is a non-trivial activity given the
complexity of some of UML's magic subsetting, merging, redefining and
stereotyping capabilities. Why would you want to rewrite it all in an
inferior technology?

I can not be understood but to conclude :is the following statement:
SAXBuilder SXB = new SAXBuilder ();
try {
/ / Create a new document with JDOM XML file as argument
sxb.build document = (new File ("file.xml"));
}
but my file is file.uml not file .xml.
I hope you understand me.
Regards

Hela,

SAX doesn't care about the extension of your file; you can use any file
name.
