XML Import/Export

Method library content can be exported in XML format. The exported file can then be imported into thrid-party applications. It is also possible to import method library content in XML format, provided the data follows the correct XML schema.

You can download the latest XML schema from http://www.eclipse.org/epf/tool_component/xml_schema.php.

Due to the complexity of an import operation and its impact on a method library's integrity, we recommend 3rd party vendors export their library content in XML format and use the Import wizard to import the XML into a new or existing method library.
