Title: Exporting to UML profile?
Post by: wsargent on June 22, 2005, 10:23:35 am

I think I understand UML profiles now (a handy way to package stereotyped classes), but I can't figure out how to export them.

Is there a way?

Will.

You'll find it in the context menu of the according package (lower third).

Use "Save Package as UML Profile".
Export is XML file.

Title: Convert profile to XMI (Exporting to UML profile?)
Post by: dr_shorthair on July 11, 2005, 06:41:50 pm

I have manually created a UML Profile following the documentation of the XML document format for UML profiles.
However, some of my collaborators don't want to be messing with raw XML, so it would be convenient to be able to convert the profile to XMI so that it can be imported as a model and then tweaked using a diagram view.

EA help gives the instructions how to export a package as a UML profile, but not the reverse direction.
Is this possible?

Hi,
actually I think it is possible :)

When you want to "tweak" the profile, use the package "import/export to XMI" function. When it is tweaked, save the package as UML profile. So principially make your changes on the XMI and than export to XML.

But you can't re-import the profile.xml since this is not XMI. I have a repository where I store the profile for modification and export. I manually import this profile into other repositories.

Oh, now I understand :), the question came from someone else who didn't start the thread. And dr_shorthair has no XMI yet.

You are right, Thomas, this is not possible.
