XMI export to UML2

[Jos Fries]

Hi,

As I wanted to be able to import a State Transition Diagram from EA to Eclipse UML2 I delved into XSLT and wrote a simple stylesheet to transform parts of an EA XMI file to a .UML2 file. Now two questions arose:

1. I based my stylesheet on EA's XMI 1.1 as I read in this forum that that version should be EA's "native format". Is that a wise decision or should I  use XMI 1.2?

2. Is it possible to deduce from EA's XMI 1.1 file in which region (concurrent substate) a state is in? The only region information the XMI file seems to contain is a tagged value $ea_xref_property for the state containing the regions. The fields in this tag however do not contain the relevant information?

Best regards,

Jos
