Hi all, Here is a new version of the ATL launch configuration UI. It is fully backward compatible with the old one (i.e. you do not have to rewrite your launch configs). The big enhancement is that this version is able to read names of the models from your ATL files. No more painful "add model" for you !! I'm waiting for your comments!
Created attachment 63359 [details] The patch (to apply on org.eclipse.m2m.atl.adt.debug plugin)
I integrated your contribution in CVS. Thanks for this helpful contribution, Freddy.
The new launch config dialog does not allow libraries to be defined for ATL queries. Also, when defining libraries in a launch config, it is possible to select .atl as well as .asm files. If you run a launch config with .atl files as libraries, Eclipse crashes(!). Fixed in MainAtlTab.java v.1.3
Any extra models used in superimposed transformation modules are not yet supported.
Is it possible to have some extra buttons to manually add more models, Mikaël? That would cover the more exotic cases: - arbitrary number of anonymous input models - superimposed transformation modules add more input/output models - ...
(In reply to comment #5) > - arbitrary number of anonymous input models Are you refering to models referenced by input models ? To be more precise, in a response you made on the ATL mailing list, you mentionned that: > When loading a meta-model, ATL traverses all meta-classes to > find external references, traverses those external references to find > more external references, etc. The result is the transitive closure of > referenced meta-classes from the main meta-model. The meta-models > containing those meta-classes are accessible from ATL. Are those external references considered as anonymous input models ? If not, it would be usefull also that the new ATL launch configuration allows referenced models to be defined. The launch configuration could load the input models and look for external references. If they cannot be found, then ask the user to define where they are. This would be usefull when using meta models which cross reference other meta models. Most of the time, referenced models are defined using the platform:/resource/myproject/model/mymm.ecore Regards.

This problem was not related to the launch configuration, it actually does support this.

Better not do double work.
Updated ATL launch dialog has been committed to CVS today. MainAtlTab as well as AdvancedTab are affected, since adding/removing superimposed modules can change the necessary models/libraries. The new interface should be able to detect all necessary models and libraries and supports adding extra models/libraries. Any extra models/libraries can also be removed again. More testing required.
The new launch dialog does not say which is the metamodel for a given model; you have to look into the transformation file.
