XMI Export Overview
The XML Metadata Interchange XMI is an OMG standard for exchanging UML Models between different UML products such as modeling tools and UML Design.
The XMI 2.1 Export project aims at exporting the content of HOPEX Diagrams as .xmi files so that models modeled in HOPEX can be imported by UML tools such as Eclipse EMF.
Prerequisites
The XMI 2.1 export feature is available with HOPEX UML, and supports XMI version 2.1 with UML 2.3.
Scope of XMI Export
The purpose of XMI export is to translate the specification of HOPEX Class Diagrams, Use Case Diagrams, Component Diagram, Composite Structure Diagram, Activity Diagram, Communication Diagram, Sequence Diagram and State Machine Diagrams into XMI. Diagrams and diagrams drawings are not considered except with UML2 plugin for Eclipse.
The tool handles translation of the concepts of the above HOPEX diagrams that have a correspondence in UML 2.0. The list of supported mappings is detailed below.
