Mapped objects includecomponents, classes, attributes, operations, associations, interfaces, actors, anduse cases. Some objects are not mapped however:• Objects that support multiple inheritance. The Java language does notsupport multiple inheritance. As a result, the XMI Import Wizard does notimport objects that have or support multiple inheritance.• Non-standard and “proprietary” XMI objects are not imported, and arereported in the wizard’s Status panel.• The current UML 1.3 DTD does not support import/export of UML notationfor diagrams.
