You can't just copy a profile applied on a model, because it's an api 
call in UML2. Same with stereotypes. The UML2 modelhandler will apply 
them afterwards the transformation is done.
You will need to apply the profile and the stereotypes in the imperative 
part of your transformation.

Notice that the serialisation of a simple uml model(without a profile 
applied) is XML and the serialisation of a model with a profile applied 
has to be XMI because the stereotypes are in fact dynamic EObjects just 
added to the resourceSet.

Same as the stereotypes.

here some examples :

"Copy" the applied profiles via applying them


rule ModelRule {
    from s : UML2!"uml::Model" (thisModule.inElements->includes(s))
    to t : UML2!"uml::Model" mapsTo s (
        name <- s.name->debug('Model'),
        visibility <- s.visibility,
.....
        packageMerge <- s.packageMerge,
        packagedElement <- s.packagedElement,
        profileApplication <- s.profileApplication)
  do {

        t.debug('ModelRule');
        	
        for (p in s.getAllAppliedProfiles()){
        	t.applyProfile(p);
        }
      }
}


A called rule to "copy" the stereotypes of an element and copy the values :


rule copyStereoType(invar : UML2!"uml::Element",outvar : 
UML2!"uml::Element"){
 do{
	for(st in invar.getAppliedStereotypes()){
 	  outvar.applyStereotype(st);	
 	  for (a in st.getAllAttributes()){
 	    if(not invar.getValue(st,a.name).oclIsUndefined()){
 		if ( not a.name.startsWith('base_') ){ 	
 		 outvar.setValue(st,a.name, invar.getValue(st,a.name) );
 		}
 	     }
 	  }  				
 	}
		
 }--do
}


In the imperative part of your transformation you can now "copy"
steretype by using the called rule :

 thisModule.copyStereoType(invar,Classvar);


to avoid doubling of profile applications,one from the transformation 
and one from the applying, you need to exclude the 
UML2!ProfileApplication from the copy process.
