Description Michael Golubev CLA 2012-08-08 09:55:14 EDT 
By historical reasons, GMF Tooling actually using its own fork of xPand templates with xTend language replaced by the use of imperative OCL from QVTo. 

Non standard template language limits the target audience for the project and blocks usage of the modern DSL / code-generation features within GMF-T. 

During Kepler release cycle we should consider switching to the standard templates language, either back to xPand or to Acceleo.
Comment 1 Michael Golubev CLA 2012-09-26 09:14:41 EDT 
We decided to do #390313 first and then finally decide, whether we are going to go with xTend2, with Acceleo or both.

to be delivered in Kepler as an experimental feature (not part of aggregated distribution, installable separately from GMFT update site)
Comment 3 Michael Golubev CLA 2013-09-25 04:58:59 EDT 
Set of the xtend2 based templates had been published in the branch:
