Re: [m2m-dev] QVT models component

[Quentin Glineur <quentin.glineur@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Ed,

I developed QVTR thanks to UMLX EQVT model. This model is interesting 
for its strict conformance to the specification (even if I think some 
points of the official abstract syntax are an aberration).

However, I am surprised by your proposition of migration in the 
*infrastructure* component. Such abstract syntaxes are related to a 
language (and therefore to the corresponding M2M component):  I don't 
think I'll have any use of a QVT-OM metamodel for the implementation of 
QVT-R (I know the contrary might be false) and I think ATL has nothing 
to deal with any one of them!

Therefore, the *infrastructure* should not be the place for it.
But I would be glad that you contribute the EQVTR  model to the QVT 
Relations component.

Regards,
Quentin GLINEUR
