Exporting XMI Files
Depending on the destination tool, the XMI export tool produces two types of file. For Eclipse with UML plugin, the export will produce one .uml file for data and some .umlclass, .umlusc and/or .umlstm files for diagrams (each file represents an HOPEX diagram).
For other modeling tools, as Enterprise Architect or MagicDraw UML, the export will produce one .xmi file for data but no diagram description files will be generated.
Export for Eclipse with UML2 plugin
To export HOPEX data for Eclipse with UML2 plugin:
1. In HOPEX, select Main Menu > Export > XMI Export.
The export dialog box appears.
2. Select the Package to be exported.
3. Specify the name and path of the file to be exported.
4. Under Options, check the Export for Eclipse parameter.
5. Click Next.
The window shows the export process progression.
Then the window showing the report of all exported data appears.
Export for other tools
Because many modeling tools do not support the UML Diagram Interchange Specification, the MEGA XMI 2.1 Export feature exports .xmi file for data but no diagram description files for other tools than Eclipse.
To export HOPEX data for modeling tools such as Enterprise Architect or MagicDraw UML:
1. In HOPEX, select Main Menu > Export > XMI Export.
The export dialog box appears.
2. Select the Package to be exported.
3. Specify the name and path of the file to be exported.
4. Uncheck the Export for Eclipse parameter.
5. Click Next >.
The window that appears shows the export process progression.
Then the window showing the report of all exported data appears.
