[henshin-dev] 2010-2011 model migration

development of the migration code is ongoing and should be finished  
shortly. One small problem still needs to be solved with the  
transformation, for which I need to rewrite and reorganize some of my  
code. As Java is used for the transformation, reorganizing and  
updating transformations on the graph can lead to slight problems,  
which have taken a while to be solved.
The migration should be semi-usable by the end of this week, i.e.  
working but untested. Then I will run the tests through the migration  
and see if they will still run.
I haven't started on the code transforming the diagram editor's files  
yet, but will be in the next couple of days while working on a  
migration wizard.

One question about the migration: As NACs are resolved to the Formula  
nested in a Not, multiple successive layers of "Not" nesting could be  
removed automatically. This is implemented but currently turned off  
for debugging and testing purposes. Should this option be made  
available to the user or just turned on by default?

Could we please prepare the "final" 2011 version of the model for  
testing purposes? I'd like to test the migration with the final model  
(i.e. not the combined 2010/2011 model we currently use) as soon as  
possible.
