Is there really so much MDA specific traffic that it can't be handled by the
dev and user lists?  There was one message in 2006, four in 2005 and none in
2004, to go along with this exchange which is the first of 2007.  
 
Why don't we shut down this list so that users aren't tempted to send
messages someplace where most people won't see them?
 
I see from the list archives that the user got the problem resolved on his
own, but for the record, the best way to get started with AndroMDA and
ArgoUML is to use the tutorial.  I did a ArgoUML specific instructions for
it.  Just click on "Getting Started Java (3.2)" from the AndroMDA home page.
http://andromda.org/
 
As for the specific problem, it's not an issue with unsupported features,
but rather an incompatibility between the way MagicDraw serializes linked
XMI files and what MDR will read.  It's unlikely that MagicDraw will ever
fix this since they've moved on to UML 2.x, so the workaround is to
"flatten" the file and write it out as a single XMI file.  We have just such
a file in SVN and the tutorial includes a pointer to it.  I think we also
include it in our kits (although there's no easy way to know it's there or
to switch to it until the profile work is done).

Tim had this question on the MDA mailing list. Am I right or is there some
other problem with this?

Hello Tim!

I am not really sure about this but think someone mentioned that the MDA
profile uses some XMI constructs that are not supported by ArgoUML. I will
bring this question up on the dev list.

Hello everybody,

in the moment I try to learn more about MDA. To get a bit practise I got a
project from my boss, which I shall try to realise with andromda. First of
all I started the modeling with Andromda 3.1 and MagicDraw9.5 CE, but
MagicDraw CE ist limited, expecially in the use of UseCase Diagramms. So I
decided to Use ArgoUML instead. I use Agrouml 0.24, Eclipse 3.2.1 with ant,
and Andromda 3.1. To start the modeling I need the Andromda-profiles, do get
the correct datatypes, but when i try to open the profilefiles from the
andromda-package I get an error from argouml. I didn't have this problem
with MagicDraw95 CE and both UML-Tools support UML1.4 and XMI 1.2. As far as
I know is Andromda3.1 using UML1.4 as well, so I don't see any problems
here. Can you help me out and tell me why I cant use the profiles and what I
can do about it? Thanks a million!

Best regards

Tim Toennsen
