SPECIFICATIONS
Tool: Tigris / ArgoUML version 0.10 to 0.24 via UML XMI File
See http://argouml.tigris.org/
Metadata: [Object Modeling] Data Store (Object Model UML Class Diagrams)
Component: OmgUmlXmiArgoUml version 11.2.0
OVERVIEW
This bridge generates an Object Management Group (OMG) Unified Modeling Language (UML) Class Diagram XML Metadata Interchange (XMI) file with objects, attributes, inheritance, types, relationships. The actual standard specifications provided by the OMG (Object Management Group) are often extended for proprietary reasons by the target tool vendor, and in many cases the metadata written to the XMI file is then not consumed by the target tool. A high-level description of the metadata coverage is provide in the LIMITATIONS.
REQUIREMENTS
To load generated XMI file into Tigris ArgoUML:
This bridge generates a XMI and a ARGO file. Both are needed by Argo UML.
1. In Argo UML choose 'Open Project' from the 'File' menu.
2. Navigate to the folder that contains the file you want to open.
Tigris has changed the XMI format that Argo UML supports for version 0.26. In order to export to this version and greater, the workaround is to:
1. Select 'OMG UML 1.x XMI 1.x' bridge.
2. Enter 'Argo/UML 0.8' in the 'Target Tool/Standard' bridge parameter.
3. Export to an XML or XMI extension file.
4. Edit the export XML or XMI extension file and remove the second line in the file with 'DOCTYPE XMI SYSTEM'
5. Save the file and use the File > Import XMI option in Argo/UML

Bridge Parameters
| Parameter Name | Description | Type | Values | Default | Scope | ||
| File | Generates an XML file compliant to the Object Management Group (OMG) Unified Modeling Language (UML) XML Metadata Interchange (XMI) file format. In order to load the converted model in the tool: 1. In Argo UML choose "Open Project" from the "File" menu. 2. Argo UML may ask you if you want to save the current model. Answer as appropriate. 3. Navigate to the file you want to open. |
FILE | *.argo | Mandatory | |||
| Target Tool/Standard | 'Argo/UML 0.7' - Generate the XMI file for use with Argo/UML version 0.7.0 or older. 'Argo/UML 0.8' - Generate the XMI file for use with Argo/UML version 0.7.1 or more recent. Tigris has changed the XMI format that Argo UML supports for version 0.26. In order to export to this version and greater, the workaround is to: 1. Select 'OMG UML 1.x XMI 1.x' bridge 2. Enter 'Argo/UML 0.8' in the 'Target Tool/Standard' bridge parameter 3. Export to an XML or XMI extension file 4. Edit the export XML or XMI extension file and remove the second line in the file with 'DOCTYPE XMI SYSTEM' 5. Save the file and use the File -> Import XMI option in Argo/UML |
ENUMERATED |
|
Argo/UML 0.8 | |||
| UUIDs | Determines whether to export the object's 'Universally Unique ID' when known. Note that the UUIDs of the source model may not be compatible with the target tool. 'True' Export the UUIDs. 'False' Don't export the necessary tags. |
BOOLEAN | False | ||||
| XML Indentation (pretty printing) | Controls the pretty printing of XML, for the purpose of opening the generated file in a text editor. E.g. 'space characters' Several space characters as indentation. 'tab key' Tab character as indentation. 'empty' No indentation which leads to a more compact file. |
