[henshin-dev] Loading UML-Models into Henshin

[Max Mustermann <goood.guy@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

I would like to use the Henshin-Editor just for creating transformation 
rules visually. I wondered if I could be possible to load UML models 
instead of Ecore models. I thought this could be possible because the 
UML models from org.eclipse.uml2.uml are described in Ecore. So I 
created an action to import .uml files but then I couldn't assign a UML 
type to a henshin node.

My question: is there a way to use a UML model as a meta model in 
henshin? I don't want to make any changes to the henshin ecore model or 
its sources (only by using inheritance/extension points)

If this is not possible I think it could be an approach to transform a 
UML model to a Ecore model before loading it into Henshin.
