A few links that might help: 1) Eclipse UML2 FAQ #5 http://wiki.eclipse.org/MDT-UML2-FAQ#Is_there_a_mechanism_to_convert_a_Rose_.28.mdl.29_model_to_a_UML_.28.uml.29_model.3F 2) ATL Rose to UML2 transformation http://www.eclipse.org/m2m/atl/usecases/MDL2GMF/ 3) Reading/saving OMG XMI from UML2: http://wiki.eclipse.org/MDT_1.1_New_and_Noteworthy#Release_2.2_M5 As you know, XMI interoperability is really hard, so you might have better luck with the .mdl import. I would be keen on giving it a try, if you can make the model available.

Thanks, Leo Hi Rafael,

Yeah, the downloadable product is actually a 3.3 platform-based (IDE) product, and it exists more as a convenience so people that are not familiar with Eclipse can get it running as easily as possible. But installing the TextUML Toolkit features on an existing Eclipse 3.4 product via Software Update is the recommended option (the download page could do a better job at stating that). In case you haven't seen it, here is the update site: http://abstratt.com/textuml/update/ Again, thanks for the feedback, Rafael Oh, right.

I actually thought you were just shipping it as a RCP application. But yes, I believe that contributing it to Eclipse.org and using the Eclipse licensing would increase the chances of succeeding... Anyhow, it's a lot of work until a product takes off :) Ops… I actually thought you were just shipping it as a RCP application.

Not sure I understood your suggestion, though. The TextUML Toolkit is already a set of plug-ins for Eclipse. Do you mean, to contribute it to Eclipse.org?
