Can I export to *.XMI and import in Eclipse UML?

[pstein]

Can I export a (=one) logical Class diagram to an *.XMI file and import it in Eclipse UML?

Are they compatible resp. can they be converted?

Is the other way round possible as well?

Peter,

First of all, you can't export a diagram to xmi.
You can export a package, with all its contents, but not a diagram.
EA has extended XMI to include diagrams as well, but since that is not "standard" XMI there is no guarantee whatsoever that another tool will be able to import the diagram.
Importing packages and elements should be OK, but the past has proved that different vendors interprete the XMI "standard" in a different way.

Has anyone attempted to import an EA .xmi file into Orbus iServer yet?
