RE: Trying to import XMI 1.2/ UML 1.4 from Visual Paradigm

I had a quick look at this using an evaluation version of Visual Paradigm
and it's definitely encoding FinalStates wrong.  The workaround that you
mentioned:

> I replaced in VP all the graphical symbols for Final 
> state with a regular state which I called Final.

worked for my simple 3 state statemachine test, so I suspect that your
second error message

> XMI format error : org.argouml.model.XmiException:
> javax.jmi.xmi.MalformedXMIException:
> javax.jmi.reflect.TypeMismatchException

is from an unrelated error in the the XMI file.  That could be simple to fix
too, but these things are like peeling an onion and we won't really know how
many problems there are until we're done.  Hopefully Visual Paradigm didn't
screw up too many other things!
