Re: [gmf-dev] Tiger GMF Transformation

[Karsten Ehrig <karstene@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Richard,

in fact we already got an invitation from Jean Bezivin to join GMT with 
the Tiger EMF Transformation Project (short EMT).

Maybe EMT could be also used in the GMF generator:

"Like in EMF, the GMF Generator model can be automatically
created from high-level models. Unlike in EMF, GMF
significantly reorganizes the diagram description while creating
Generator model. The transformation from high-level GMF
models to Generator model is not one-to-one transformation like
in EMF, so more powerful techniques are used here. Currently
this transformation is hand coded in Java classes, while some
model-to-model transformation techniques could be used there in
the future."

Best wishes,
Karsten
