Re: [amalgam-dev] Amalgam discovery

[Ed Willink <ed@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Cedric

I thought I saw, but can't find, a recent email from you announcing that 
things were now in place for EPP RC1 Modeling Discovery. However I don't 
see either MDT/OCL or M2M/QVTd in 
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/amalgam/downloads/discovery/helios/modeling.xmi 
as requested in Bug 311214.

    Regards

        Ed
