Title: Export UML from EA to Eclipse
Post by: Patrick OHara on August 15, 2009, 03:10:40 am

I am trying to perform a one-way export of a UML Class Model from EA 7.1.0.831 to Eclipse 3.4.1. When I try to import it into Eclipse
it chokes on line 1589 of my file, I show it below in context:

1586:     <xmi:Extension extender="Enterprise Architect" extenderID="6.5">
1587:                     <elements>
1588:                                     <element xmi:idref="EAPK_97EF9038_90B2_422c_A196_6F7E351173B9" xmi:type="uml:Package" name="customer" scope="public">
1589:                                                     <model package2="EAID_97EF9038_90B2_422c_A196_6F7E351173B9" package="EAPK_74069731_9784_4ffe_8264_E4F05ED67773" tpos="1" ea_localid="20153" ea_eleType="package"/>
1590:                                                     <properties documentation="This package contains data types that describe the customer profile." isSpecification="false" sType="Package" nType="0" scope="public"/>

Can anyone suggest how I can resolve this problem?

Try a different XMI version setting. Some things work best with a 1.x version, some with 2.x.

That looks like the section of the XMI 2.1 that EA incorporates its extensions.  You can stop that section by clearing the appropriate checkbox on the XMI export dialog.  (You will also have to clear the checkbox for round-trip within EA first.)
