reverse engineer an .xsd

[lwightman]

I'd like to reverse engineer an xsd diagram into a UML diagram.  I can't see how to do this.  Basically what I have is an xsd file that I would like to see a UML diagram for.  If I import it, I just get a diagram of the xsd

So what else were you expecting?

(Serious question)

I understand your question.  I want a UML diagram of the classes.  Maybe if I generate java code from the XSD and then attempt to build a uml diagram from the code...
thanks,

Lisa,

No amount of reverse or forward engineering is going to change anything to the actual contents.
So if you don't like how it has reverse engineered in EA, you're not going to like it if you take a detour over Java. It's the same thing, just in another format.

Or is it the xsd specific stereotypes you don't like. In that case you can easily remove them to get plain UML classes. (use package browser to quickly remove all stereotypes)
