Ubuntu – How to open .xmi files

file formatxml

Is there any app that can open .xmi files in Ubuntu?

File created in the XMI (XML Metadata Interchange) format, an XML file format most commonly used for exchanging UML diagrams; stores model design information in a standard XML format used for transferring design information between software programs.

I know in the repository dia would be closest thing to use since it helps make diagrams (including UML based ones) but I didn't see the .xmi extension as a file it can open.

I have not been able to find another diagram program on the Ubuntu repository that says it can open up a .xmi file ( used this list to do searches on them on Ubuntu 12.04: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UML_tools )

When looking around, I found this link that explains what the file extension means and what programs can open it.

Two applications were mentioned, Magic MagicDraw (which does not run in Linux) and

Eclipse IDE for Java Developers with GMF plug-in

sudo apt-get install eclipse

Hope this gets you in the right direction.
