XMI Export

[Tester]

Hi,

Im evaluating the latest 4 version as of 8 marsh. and Im having difficulties to export to XMI. I have tried all compations with DTD, Rose version, 1.0 1.1 but few other applications can read generated XMI
I have tried, Poseidon, ArgoUML, Visual Paradigm and Netbeans MDR.

I got one combination to work sometimes but then the Type-part of an attribute fell of ! When reinstalling to version 3.6 this happened too.

What has hapened to the XMI import/export module!?!?

Could it be that since EA4 support UML2.0, the XMI includes new types of diagrams etc.... perhaps the other tools do not recognize those?
Overall, XMI is a big pain in the... big pain in UML, but I find EA being closer to standards that most of the others.

Some of it yes but after hacking the XMI some readers ...

* drop the type from attribute (including old 3.6)
* complain about UML:Namespace.ownedElement
* complain about circularity in  reference, bad reference"0..*" ?!
* complaint about an extra ModelElement.name for Package (name is not multivalue and name waspresent in UML:package tag)
* etc ..

Seems to be more that just diagram.

More problmes are that whan hacking support for XMI 1.0 some attribute are changed...
* visibility from public to private
* changed into "static"

Ill report More probems as I encounter them.
