[news.eclipse.modeling.mdt.uml2] Re: Serialize a UMLResource as OMG XMI

["James Bruck" <jbruck@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Joachim,

Try simply saving your XXX.uml model as XXX.xmi.

>From the UML editor:
1. Select your .uml model.
2. Select File > Save As ...
3. as the file name, use a .xmi extension.

You can save as .cmof as well.

The details are described in the "New and Noteworthy" article here 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/MDT_1.1_New_and_Noteworthy (Section Release 2.2 M5)

Cheers,
- James.
