# Creating a UML2 Model

You start by defining a UML2 model, i.e. an instance of the UML2 metamodel. Inside the project, in the source folder, you create a UML2 model that you should call `example.uml` (after pressig Next> ).

On the last page of the wizard you have to select the model object. Make sure its a Model , not a Profile .

### Modelling the content

You should then build a model that looks somewhat like this:

By the way, if you rename the `.uml` file to `.ecore`, you can edit the model using the ecore editors. To inspect the model, they provide a somewhat better view, so you might try!
