Importing a metamodel

To import a metamodel:

1. Click File > Import.
2. Select the Metamodel item and click Next.
3. Type the name of the plugin project to create (e.g. com.sodius.mdw.example.library) in the Project name field, and click Next
4. Choose a type of metamodel importer (e.g. Ecore Importer):
   • Ecore: handles EMF metamodels (*.ecore).
   • UML 2.1: handles metamodels defined in a UML 2.1 XMI file (*.xmi and *.uml).
   • XML Schema: converts an XML schema to a metamodel (*.xsd or *.wsdl).

   Click Next.

5. Type the file which contains the metamodel data to read and click Next.
6. Type the required metamodel information and click Finish.

MDWorkbench analyzes the metamodel and generates a set of Java classes that defines the contents of the metamodel.
