Re: Generating Ecore model from argo xmi?

Thanks Tom. I've managed to find the plugin as you suggested, I just seemed
to end up at the wrong sourceforge site to start with.

I'm assuming this list gets archived, so for the benefit of others who end
up at http://argo2ecore.sourceforge.net/, you actually need to go to
http://sourceforge.net/projects/argo2ecore and then download the plugin.
It's just a jar file that goes in the eclipse plugins directory.

Thanks again,

Lionel.
