Hello,

XMI export doesn't keep polish national characters and replaces them to sequences of type \uXXXX, e.g.:

rodzaje płatności

is replaced with:

rodzaje p\u0142atno\u015bci

It causes some problems with exporting to MDA tools.

Regars,
Jacek

Hello again,
There is another issue - when exporting to XMI with UML2 option, multiplicities * (for roles or attributes) are represented as:

<lowerValue value="*" xmi:id="HrV7v8iAUAAGCyrN_multiplicity_lowerValue" xmi:type="uml:LiteralString"/>

When importing model to eclipse they are recognized as 1.
So I have to use 0..* to have correct multiplicities, that are represented as two elements:

<lowerValue value="0" xmi:id="HrV7v8iAUAAGCyrN_multiplicity_lowerValue" xmi:type="uml:LiteralString"/>
<upperValue value="*" xmi:id="HrV7v8iAUAAGCyrN_multiplicity_upperValue" xmi:type="uml:LiteralString"/>

There is no semantic difference between * and 0..* and * is shorter. Maybe * should be represented the same way, as 0..*

Regards,
Jacek

The third issue - when importing to eclipse, elements haven't stereotypes and tagged values, assigned to them in VP.

We have observed this same problem-- it is because the application of stereotypes in UML2 is handled through profiles, which VP doesn't yet support, if I understand correctly. I've been unable to import XMI files defining profiles (authored in Eclipse) into VP-UML, for the same reason, I believe.

Jick, could you please clarify? Are there plans to add profile support to VP, in accordance with the latest versions of UML2? We deal with stereotypes and tagged values a great deal and it would be nice not to have to come up with another mechanism in order to get full "round-trip" compatibility.

Thanks,
Ellen

This has been fixed, but the fix will be available in the coming version. Do you want to try it? If yes, I can arrange an early access release for you.

Hello,
We have the same problem, when exporting the XMI with french characters :
The "é" charcter is replaced in the xmi by "\u00e9".
Is there any correction of this issue available.

Many Thx

Hi Riadh and Ellen,

In the coming version, we will let user select an encoding for the XMI, which will solve this problem.

Jick,

Thanks for the information on the upcoming release. Will this include the fixes to the Eclipse UML2 export as well? (That's the main issue that would prevent us using VP-UML at this time.)

Thanks,
Ellen
