[m2t-dev] What's the difference between Xpand and Acceleo?

[K J <gommery@xxxxxxxxx>]

Not sure where I should be posting this question, so I apologize if
this isn't the appropriate forum.

Some people at my company have been using Acceleo for a while now, and
I've been looking for ways to make it play nice with Maven (so far
without luck). During my research I came across the M2T project and
subsequently Xpand. I've been trying to figure out the differences
between Acceleo and Xpand, but I'm not clear on what they each do. It
seems like there is a lot of overlap between the two projects, and if
that is true, I don't understand why they are both part of M2T. Can
someone please clarify?

Thanks in advance.
