Hi guys.
I've been trying to get models to export/import from EA to/from ROSE 2001A, with no real success. The ROSE plugin seems to generate with UTF-16 codeset, so I've set EA to match this. The EA generated XMI file seems to then have 2 encoding property statements and ROSE seems to complain about not finding the DTD, even though it is there.
This is kind of important for us as we will soon need to start sharing models with another department and I want to win them over to EA rather than be forced, at some point, to switch :(.
Has anyone managed to make this work or is the a FAQ with a definitive answer to this somewhere? I've searched this discussion list but cannot seem to find such an answer, only a few similar questions.

I've played around with this quite a bit and have moved reasonably complex models back and forth. I did upgrade to the newest release of the Rose plugin. I've been testing this over a period of time and found the best results with the following versions:
EA 3.10 build 492
Rose 2001A Version 7.5.0103.1920
I obtained the newest Rose plug in from :

Export Parameters I used in Rose:
Export Diagrams -- checked
Generate UUID's -- checked (I successfully exported with this unchecked as well)
Treat <<type>> as <<datatype>> -- checked
Export Parameters I used in EA:
Export Diagrams -- checked
Format XML Output -- checked
Write Log file -- checked
Use DTD -- checked
Because Rose uses a default RUP project structure, some manual adjustment of where things resides is required. Also the conversions are not usually 100% except for simple models.
Sorry I didn't have any issues with different codesets.
