There is no possibility to import Ecore files directly. Ecore files should be imported using the EMOF import feature.
To import an Ecore file
- In the Eclipse environment, open the *.ecore file and save it as *.emof.
- Use the Importing projects from MOF files procedure.
This way of importing Ecore files may cause some Ecore-specific model details that don't exist in EMOF to be lost.
