Exporting XMI Data

You can export projects or sections of projects created in Together for use by other applications/languages using XMI:

1. On the main menu, select File > Export. The Export dialog opens.




2. Choose "XMI File, " and click Next.
   




3. The selection dialog opens.
   
   

   
   
   

4. Specify the project to export. You can also expand the project to select only a portion of it. You cannot proceed until a project or package is selected.
   
   

5. In the XMI Type groupbox, select the xml/uml version you wish the file to support. The XMI Version is 1.2.
   
   

6. Click the drop down arrow to select an appropriate XMI Encoding requirement.
   
   

7. Specify the destination. Be sure to include the path as well as the name of the file (*.xml) which will be created. You may also select the default: <project folder>\out\xmi\untitled<number>.xml. For the first file generated under this name, <number>=1. Thereafter, <number> increases by one for each file saved under the same name.

   
   

8. Click "Finish" to generate the XMI file.
   

A dialog displays indicating that the XMI export has completed. If there are any warnings produced during XMI export, the XMI Export dialog notifies you to refer to the Task view. To open the Task view, from the main menu bar, select Window > Show View > Other > Basic > Tasks.

NB: UML 2.0 elements are not exported.
