I did not tried the tool so if you try it, let me know.
Also, Together have some reporting facility that can be twisted to generated the Torque XML schema.

I've been using torque for a while and love it. What drove me to torque in the first place was the idea of having all of a system's objects/models defined in XML and then generated for me. This process is extremely helpful to me in visualizing a system's model. So the logical next step is to have a tool to do this visually. (And then print out model charts/schemas and all kinds of cool stuff)
As a study, I'm using Poseidon UML to draw up UML versions of some example systems (like Bookstore). Poseidon (based on ArgoUML) saves out to an XMI file (XML Metadata Interchange). Basically all the same information exists in the XMI and Torque project-schema.xml files, but obviously in very different ways.
So the questions is, does anyone know about an effort to load an XMI file into torque? So far I haven't found anything and am looking into a way to do this. Wouldn't it be cool to model your schema in Poseidon (or any other tool that uses XMI, I believe Rational does) and then be able to use it with Torque!
This could be done in a number of ways, but my current bias would be to use the Jave Metadata Interface (JMI).
My research is only just beginning but it seems that JMI can load XMI.. and I could then feasibly generate a torque project-schema.xml file from there.
And one step further.. does anyone know what Torque's metamodel is based on? I know what the project-schema.xml file looks like of course, but I've no idea what torque does with that internally. So I guess the question is, does/could Torque make use of JMI internally to represent its metamodel, and possibly leverage any future JMI tools?
Ok, sorry to subject you all to my brainstorms. Does this kind of thing belong on the dev list instead?
Thanks!
