Here's the companion to the DXL Export wizard. The DXL Importer wizard for Domino Designer 8.5 is a plug-in that helps you to import DXL into a Domino database. It's a user interface to the Notes DxlImporter class.

The DXL Importer wizard can be invoked by clicking on the toolbar icon .
On the first page choose which import to run.
Every import is saved as a Recent Import so it can be run again.
Recent imports can be saved as Named Imports.
Select a source DXL file and a target database.
Specify DXL Importer options.
DXL Importer settings can be saved as Named DXL Importers for reuse.

Note: You need to be really careful when importing DXL into Domino databases - it's easy to clobber the database if you're not careful.

Installation

The DXL Importer and Exporter wizards can be installed from the usual place. Both plug-ins are in the DXL Tools Feature

Source Code

The source code is available from the CVS.

2 - Do you use it for creating full featured databases, or "just" templates ?

I ask this question because of non-full dxl roundtrip issue.

3 - You use it to import DXL into Domino databases.

It's a front-end to the DXLImporter java class and that's all it does.

Anything that the DXLImporter would break, so the DXL Importer Wizard would break too.

YMMV

Importing DXL Exported Email into a new database.

Error - Cannot open project P/DXL
I guess this is an internal error as I have nothing called P/DXL Emoticon
