Hello, The UML element: Model (defined in superstructure at page 610) can be used inside a package. It's possible to have hierarchies of Model elements and it's possible to have Model elements as siblings (not contained in any container) in a resource.
I tested this, and an example of the XMI serialization would be: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xmi:XMI xmi:version="2.1" xmlns:xmi="http://schema.omg.org/spec/XMI/2.1"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:uml="http://schema.omg.org/spec/UML/2.1.1"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://schema.omg.org/spec/UML/2.1.1 http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/2.1.0/UML";> <uml:Model xmi:id="_Rsc0MCvZEdyBwvymrycfVw"/> <uml:Model xmi:id="_RsmlMCvZEdyBwvymrycfVw"/> </xmi:XMI> So it's possible to have more than one root Model element. Also, it's possible to have any container as a root element: a package, a profile, a model. IMO, ArgoUML should be flexible and if the user wants it should model any of these possibilities. Also, when we have package merge, it would be very nice to use multiple resources with package increments and then merge all of them in one package. For this functionality ArgoUML should work with any container as the root element. What's your opinion about this? The org.argouml.model.ModelManagementFactory uses one root model. One solution would be to support as deprecated methods the setRootMoel()/getRootModel() (not to break anything), but also support multiple root containers and any kind of root container.
