Thanks a lot for this information.

Anyway, the free edition of Omondo does not support user defined
profiles, which makes it worthless for AndroMDA. See:
http://www.forum-omondo.com/viewtopic.php?t=458

IMO, for AndroMDA we need to have just a simple UML tool which has
following requirements:

1. Complete UML diagrams (1.3, 1.4, 1.5, ...).
2. User defined Profiles (Stereotypes, TaggedValues and Constraints).
3. XMI export (1.1, 1.2, ...).

That's it, no need for forward engineering, reverse engineering, and
all those additional stuffs... ;-)

So at the moment I can only see one *free* product: PoseidonUML CE which
supports all the requirements? Other products which support all
the requirements above must be purchased, correct?

JFYI: OmondoUML is based on EMF (not MOF) for its Metamodeling
framework, so the XMI version of OmondoUML might not be compatible with
the real XMI standard. At least not in the 1.x version.

A very nice article on this topic:
