It indeed took plenty of hours to test all the UML tools. And *indeed*, some of them screw up my *mimosa* Windows XP system ;)
Anyway - As I did state earlier, Sparx Systems is pretty keen in shipping a EA version that *fully* supports AndroMDA. At least, that was my impression.
Currently static UML models are fully supported (i.e. Class Diagrams), which means that the UML model in the XMI export is UML 1.4 based.
Currently I am testing their activity graphs, which are based on the UML 2.0.

Daniel's compilation is fantastic and, having spent way too many hours

MDA tool interoperability is a patchwork nightmare and anything that can be
done to improve the situation is great. (If anyone knows an OMG member or
MDA tool vendor, please give them a swift kick in the, umm, shins for me.)
The main reason that people are going to use the list is to see if their favorite modeling tool works or find one that does work, so those should be at the top of the list. Tools that are known not to work should be clearly identified as such and probably be put in a separate section at the bottom. For example, ArgoUML has a little flag saying that UML 1.3 might be an issue, but, as far as I know, the fact that it only does UML 1.3 means it has no chance of working with AndroMDA until one or the other is enhanced. It certainly has never worked in any of my testing. On the other hand, Sparx Enterprise Architect has the little UML 1.3 warning sign, but the comments seem to imply that it supports UML 1.4 and might work with AndroMDA.
As Matthias suggested, writeups on how to use any of the modeling tools which work with AndroMDA, other than MagicDraw, would be *very* useful. For example, the matrix seems to imply that Poseidon still works, but when any of the samples are opened with it, the link to the AndroMDA profile is dropped and all attributes silently lose their types. If there's a way to get Poseidon to work with AndroMDA, it'd be great to know.

p.s. ArgoUML does support stereotypes -- not that it makes any difference in whether it'll work with AndroMDA.
