As a bit of background, one of the OMG's dirty little secrets is that
after many years XMI interchange still doesn't really work. There's a
good effort ongoing in OMG for the past two years now trying to address
this issue (see http://www.omgwiki.org/model-interchange/doku.php) so
things are improving. Today, their efforts are on UML 2.3 - XMI 2.1. At
some point TopBraid should probably move to supporting that effort too,
assuming customer demand for UML import is out there.
In any case, Ecore is the basis for eclipse metamodel exchange. You
best bet is probably to either import the Ecore file into Eclipse and
get the Eclipse UML 2 plugin or it may be that the Ecore itself will
import into TBC.
Cheers,
David

Enterprise Architect 9.0 supports exporting into the following

UML 1.3 (XMI 1.0)

UML 2.0 (XMI 2.1)
UML 2.1 (XMI 2.1)
MOF 1.3 (XMI 1.1)
MOF 1.4 (XMI 1.2)
Ecore
OMG XMI
BPMN 2.0 XML
ArcGIS
Would any one of the above work with TBC? If not, can you describe
how I can get from one of these formats (or from the .eap file) into
XMI compatible with the Eclipse UML2 Plugin?
Thanks!

Hi, I'm trying to import a UML model from Enterprise Architect 9.0.
I've tried exporting the UML model into:
1. UML 2.0 (XMI 2.1)
2. UML 2.1 (XMI 2.1)
3. OMG XMI
All of the above formats give the following error:
"java.io.IoException: The file does not contain a valid UML model, but
a"
I'm using TopBraid ME 3.5.2.
Please advise. Thanks.
