ECore creation from class diagrams

[aoathout]

Maybe this is something in the works but I didn't find any information on the site or when I googled. I would like to request the option of creating an eclipse emf ecore model from a class diagram. Currently the only commercial tool that does this is EclipseUML tool from omondo. There is an example application in eclipse cvs (ediagram)  that uses gef as the graphical ui to create emf ecore models if you are interested in trying to translate into your current graphical ui. For my company this is a very important feature and the only reason we are going to have to use seperate tools for different projects.

Thanks

"The next release of EMF will work with and support standard EMOF XMI model definitions. "

So if EA eventually adds support for OMG MOF, XMI will allow models to be interchanged ...

But the same article also says: "EMF provides its own meta-model, called Ecore, ...; an XMI serializer for persisting models; tools for transforming model forms like UML, XML Schema and simple annotated Java interfaces into Ecore" which suggests that transformations and use of XMI may already be possible.

Sorry, I haven't used EMF, I'm just quoting articles !!
