Check :
http://mdr.netbeans.org/metamodels.html

At the bottom of the page there are metamodels for UML 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 . 

Use the version you need, they are different and don't rely on
compatibility between them :-)

Be sure to download UML metamodel and JMI tags as well, store both ( UML
metamodel XMI file and JMI tags XMI file ) in the same directory and
load "JMI tags" XMI into MDR . Links belonging to particular version are
UNDER the title, in my browser it graphically seems that links are above
the title so mistake could happen easily.

This seems strange, but JMI tags actually "import" UML metamodel and
renames/modifies some UML element ( for example Class ) to avoid
problems when compiling generated interface in Java ( Class becomes
UmlClass ).
