[Uml-devel] XMI standard for Umbrello?

[Brian Thomas]

	Hurm. I know I've asked this before, but perhaps opinion is clearer and 
	more vioces this time around (?!). Currently Umbrello appears to be 
	using a 1.1.5 version of XMI spec, but the OMG group is up to 1.2 and 
	2.0 as the production and stable development standards (they are 
	currenly hashing out 2.1 version).

	Any opinions on what Umbrello should use? Of course, changes away 
	from 1.1 will break any old save files, but are going to be needed if we 
	ever want to have Umbrello XMI files be consistent with (and readable 
	by) other UML tools.

	Having spent minimal amount of time on this, I personally have no 
	particular opinion on this, other than we should at least consider a 
	move to the 1.2 spec. What about breaking the current 1.2 format, 
	acceptable or not? If not, when  does the umbrello app move to a 
	more current version of XMI, 1.3, 2.0? (In the past, the decision was
	to wait for 2.0, but now that version doesnt even appear to be being
	developed anymore. How long must I wait to update the XMI version?? ;)

	Anybody out there more familiar with the XMI spec versions, and the 
	pros/cons of each? I would like to start considering how to put the 
	new code generation parameters into the XMI files. 

	Finally, Im having a *hard* time getting hold of the actual XML 
	schema/DTD's for the various XMI versions as the OMG site doesnt 
	appear to want to give me anything other than PDF documents 
	describing the spec (bah!). Any kind sole out there who as any version
	of the XMI schema they could email me? (THanks!!)
