[news.eclipse.modeling.amalgam] Re: Unable to install DSL Toolkit

[Richard Gronback <richard.gronback@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

M8 = Milestone 8

You can try the linux x86_64 download of the Modeling package from EPP:
http://www.eclipse.org/epp/download.php  It contains most of what's in the
Amalgam DSL Toolkit, less some UI elements.

There are some differences in the Galileo version of the modeling
components, as compared to the Ganymede version the book is based on.
Mostly, things should work, but the solutions are not yet updated.  The main
thing to do is replace references to the "legacy" Xpand model-to-text engine
with the new one in GMF that uses OCL and QVTO.

Best,
Rich
