[news.eclipse.modeling.mdt.uml2] Re: How to load MagicDraw .uml file?

["James Bruck" <jbruck@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There is an effort going on at the OMG that address' interoperability: 
http://www.omgwiki.org/model-interchange/doku.php?id=start

One of the issues with interchanging profiles is that the opensource 
implementation expects a "defined" version of the profile (ecore 
representation).   Commercial tools build additional handling on top of the 
opensource implementation to handle the various differences.
