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

[Cédric Brun <cedric.brun@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

As Karsten said Acceleo and XPand are both model to text transformation
technologies and as such answer the same needs. One big difference
between them is the fact that M2T/Acceleo is an implementation of the
OMG Standard for Model To Text transformation whereas XPand has it's own
ocl-like in-house syntax.

Concerning the Maven issue I'm quite interested in getting more
information about what would be "missing".  As M2T/Acceleo is standalone
- it can be used as plain old Java jar without the Eclipse/OSGi runtime
I have the feeling we  probably don't need much effort to push things
forward. What do you mean by "play nice with Maven" ?
