Hi,

I have an old Entity-Relationship model that I would like to transform =
into
a UML model. For doing this, my old modeling tool is able to export the
model into a text file.=20
My idea is to parse this text file in order to instanciate java objects
corresponding to each entity and relationship found and then, write a =
xmi
file corresponding to the model.=20
Is netbeans MDR able to do this? if yes which API should I use in order =
to
instanciate the right objects and then wirte my xmi file?
if this is not the right place to ask this, where can i found this kind =
of
information?
Thanks for helping
