    Indeed, XMI import/export will help me too.

    An option to export to image files would be nice, too. The ability to export to a jpeg or a png would help those of us using Eclipse/Green on Linux work around the bug where Eclipse will not print when running in Linux.

    Green currently does support exporting as either a JPEG or GIF image. For Windows systems, this can be selected by changing the type selection in the Save As.. dialog box. In Linux systems, the file extension must be specified in the file name (i.e. ".jpg" or ".gif") in the dialog box.

    XMI import/export support will be looked into in the future.

    XMI sounds reasonable. I'd like to see this in Green.

    XMI import is possible, I suppose, if you want to generate stubs for an entire project from it. If you're looking to simply display an XMI file's representation as a Green diagram, this is overkill. If you actually want to create a project from the XMI file and then run that through Green, that might be relevant.

    This would work as follows:
    -The XMI file is read and parsed for project details (e.g., method, fields, etc.)
    -The project structure is created based on these details
    -The new project is opened in Green

    Are we sure that this functionality doesn't already exist somewhere? Is it possible to import an XMI file as a Java project? This would be great.

    What's eCore? Is it some enterprise-level software? Is it freely available? Can you interpret their documents for us? Is the format open or closed?
