Re: [m2t-dev] What's the difference between Xpand and Acceleo?
|
Both projects are targeted for model-to-text transformations, that's
the reason why they are both in the M2T project. M2T is an umbrella
project for model-to-text transformations. Acceleo and Xpand both have
a long history and moved recently under the hood of Eclipse Modeling.
I cannot says what the differences exactly are, since I'm not familiar
with Acceleo. Basically it might be a matter of taste which project
you prefer to use. I'm sure you can reach your targets with both of
them.
Maven support is one of those things that Xpand differentiates,
although it's not really Xpand which has Maven support. But Xpand is
usually used together with the Modeling Workflow Engine (MWE), and for
this engine there exists a third party Maven plugin and a Maven2
repository in the Fornax project.

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.
