Copy one Model form a Instance to another Instance

[Alexander Stenzer]

Hello,

Is there a way to copy a ModelElement form one instance to another instance?

I want to do the following thing.

1. Read an UML Model form XMI into a instance.
2. Read a second UML Model form XMI into a instance.
3. Copy/Clone the second UML Model and instert it into the first instance.
4. Saving the file.

Thanks for helping.

I guess this should be realized by explicitly adding the outer
UmlModel element from the second model as an ownedElement of a
UmlPackage in your first model (you could just use the outer UmlModel
element of the first model since that's a UmlPackage too).  That
should only take about 10 lines of JMI code.

See

The XMI loading/saving shouldn't be a problem either.
