Load XMI file in Eclipse

I have XMI file that I'd like to open in Eclipse for the visual representation of the information inside. Right now my Eclipse hangs when I'm trying to open this file.

Is it possible to open XMI in Eclipse in order to see the visual representation of the information inside(not as XML)?

Solution

  • How about:

    1. Go to Windows->Preferences->General->Editor-> File Associations .

    2. Add a new *.xmi association and set the internal editor as you like.

    3. Take care, that the correct editor is set as default.

    4. Reopen the file. (eventually restart eclipse before)

    5. Use the "Design/Source" bottom tab to switch between editor views.
