Unfortunately there's no good way to merge project files. Issue 3497 addresses the need for being able to reuse models in different contexts. The same underlying machinery that I put in place for Profiles will be used for this, but we don't have everything in place. Right now your choices are: 1. Use one project as a "profile" and reference it from the other project. The profile project will be read-only in the context of the other project and you won't be able to include any diagrams from it (it's the model information from the XMI file only). 2. Merge the projects by hand. This is tedious, but should be possible. You would need to: - Unzip both projects - Copy the .pgml files (diagrams) from one project into the other - Edit the target .argo file to include references to the new diagrams - Edit the target .xmi file and include the model information from the source .xmi file (basically copy everything inside the top level UML:Model element) - rezip everything in the target Before you attempt this, you should make sure that the xmi.id values are unique for each file. One case where they might not be is if you created one project by cloning another. These values are used for all crossreferencing, so our UML library will complain bitterly if they are duplicated and refuse to load the combined XMI file.
