Attachment: Acceleo Helios Release Review.pdf
Description: Adobe PDF document

Acceleo is a model-to-text (M2T) generator implementing the Object Management Group (OMG) MOF Model to text Transformation Language (MTL) specification.

The 3.0 release packs a great deal of improvements that range all the way from editing experience to language simplification; all of that along with a significant boost to overall performances.

First things first, the module editor has been greatly improved, in particular through the addition of new actions: refactoring capabilities, quick fixes, occurrence highlighting are all part of the train. Along with new actions specific to the bottom-up definition of generation modules, these actions make for really easy module creations. Likewise, the overall tooling provided along with Acceleo has seen many improvements and additions. In no particular order, three views corresponding to three different aspects of generation module specification have been added, a built-in profiler now allows you to locate generation bottlenecks, Acceleo evaluations can now be debugged with the Eclipse integrated debugger, evaluation exceptions now hold meaningful "Acceleo" traces instead of the old "Java" traces...

Acceleo is meant to be a pragmatic implementation of the MTL specification; we mainly try our utmost to simplify the language for end-users through the advanced tooling we provide.

As a side note, this version includes automated migration facilities for users of the Acceleo 2.x stream that would like to give a try to the improved 3.0 release.
