With the new release a few new features are available.
Selection of all packages
If you specify the package to export as following
<PackageName value="Model/Model View/Solution/*">
then all packages of "Solution" are exported into root of model directly.
Ghost Elements
If a referenced (inheritance, dependency or association) element is not in one of the exported package or in one of it's subpackages, then this element was created in the package the first reference appears during the export.
With release 2.0 these elements are not exported any more and the references are not available.
If you have to access these elements for reading extra information, you can add the the following property:
<GhostPackageName value="GhostPackage">
Now a package with the name "GhostPackage" is created in root model and all referenced elements not part of the exported packages are created in this package.
DataType
Also UML::DataType is now supported.
If you like to have more elements in exported model, don't hesitate to add a feature request.

Maybe it can just me, but it would be better if in future you can share more about this topic. Keep making good posts.
Hi!
First of all, excelent project!
The project adresses a lot of problems that I am facing in my work.
The difficult interoperability between Enterprise Architect and other tools is really annoying.
One question: Where i can find documentation to use the last releases of EA2Exporter.
I just want to take a model from EA and see it like UML2. I could do this with the releases 1.7, but I don't know how to install the other releases and the official install guide not fit with this releases.
Thank you very much!
André.
Hi André
Thanks for your comment. I assumed so far that the installation is easy enough not to be documented.
So I will add a description in the next days.

Hi Ueli!
I could do the task, fighting against some configuration/setup steps, how to say the correct path of the Jar files or the classes; agains the encoding also.
Some difficulties with the differences in the location or the content of the different releases.
But I think this is specially because I am not familiar with eclipse/java.
Thanks a lot anyway!
André.
Hi!
Thanks for this project. Is there a way to export not all packages but a defined list?
Thx anyway
Hi ???
Yes, there is.
Could you post your question under http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=203960&atid=987692
Then I will post the solution there.
Regards, Ueli
