Hello! Is there a way to get reversed engineered uml diagrams into Omnigraffle? I got a bunch of eclipse plugins that can create UML class diagrams, but not in a format that Omnigraffle can handle. Is there any way to get my project from eclipse to Omnigraflle? Thanks!

A: 

Yes, this is strange but no XMI export to Omnigraffe is available from UML 2.3.

I don't think this is a big job to be done so you can do it by yourself. You need to take the EclipseUML2 metamodel or the EMF model then manually identify each model element (e.g a class in UML 2.3 is .....in Omnigraffe, etc....) Once all the elements have been identify then code a xml mapper. It would work. A good mapper is about 18 months work for one engineer, but if you are 5 of you you can do it in less than 3-6 months (2months for codding and 4 months for testing). Good luck for this potential project.

My question could be why the Omni Group has not done the xml export ?
