I picked this up on your mailing list as well and must say I was
delighted to hear that our software (MoTMoT etc.) will be able to
process the UML 2.0 models from MagicDraw with MDR's MOF 1.  Among
other things, that triggered a discussion with Hans Schippers that
eventually lead to this thread.  We'd like to learn more about the
limitations of MOF 1 and JMI 1.  Apart from that, we're still hoping
that MDR will be (??? or is ???) upgraded such that it can process MOF
2 models, possibly generated by other frameworks (like EMF).  I still
have to look into the details of the bridges developed by the ATL
team: are they 100% generic, lossless, performant, ...

Looking forward to learn more about this,
Pieter.
