My advice was to reuse what exists.  The M2M folks don't have an 
existing UML -> Ecore transformation.  The UML2 project has already 
fully implemented that.

If your class diagram conforms to the UML model you should be able to 
read it with the UML2 APIs.

Yet in another post (an exceedingly long thread on the EMF newsgroups) 
it seems you did follow the tutorials, so I'm a bit confused.

Yes.  Many people use UML's Ecore importer to read a UML serialization

I'm very confused why you are asking on the M2M newsgroup a question 
that's far more likely to be answered on the UML newsgroup.

If you clearly describe what problems you are having following the UML's 
tutorials, on the UML2 newsgroup, I'm sure folks will help...
