Hi Lionel,
 
You've got two options:
 
1. argo2ecore - Will take a UML 1.4 XMI file from ArgoUML and convert it to
an ecore file.  It's an Eclipse plugin which is independent of ArgoUML.
This has been around for years and I think just supports the basics for
converting classes and associations.
2. ArgoUML eUML Model subsystem - This is a native UML 2.x Model subystem
implementation for ArgoUML built on top of Eclipse's UML2 plugin (which is,
in turn, layered on EMF).  This is functional, but not complete currently.
It was just done this summer by one of our Google Summer of Code students
(Bogdan, cc'd above).
 
As far as I know the argouml-emf project is just a placeholder for something
Linus has planned for the future.  The argo2ecore plugin does need to be
installed separately in your Eclipse IDE.  It should then also be available
from the Eclipse Ant runner (which is how, for example, they do the Eclipse
headless builds).  The eUML Model subsystem will be usuable both in
standalone ArgoUML and in ArgoEclipse fully integrated with the rest of the
Eclipse IDE.
 
Hope this helps.  Let me know if you have any other questions.  Followups to
the users list please, so that everyone can benefit (and help answer).
 
Tom

Hello Lionel!
 
I am not the best person to answer this. Try mailing Tom Morris or Bogdan
instead. Good luck!

Hi Linus,

I've just discovered your argouml-emf project and it looks like it will be
great for my needs. However, I have no idea how to convert the xmi generated
by Argo. Looking at the instructions at http://argo2ecore.sourceforge.net/
it looks simple, but I don't have the menu option to do the conversion. Do I
need to install a plugin? 

Also, can this be done outside the eclipse IDE with ant?

Thanks 

Lionel.
