[news.eclipse.modeling.gmt.amw] Re: [ATL] Get model's name

[Marcos Didonet Del Fabro <mddfabro@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Benjamin,

As Hugo said, ATL does not have a "native" solution to get the path of 
models.

However, you can use the AMW Model Handler to obtain such facility.

The model handler has a method called generateModelRef(), which can be 
called by any model element. For instance, you can call

MOF!EPackage.generateModelRef('modelname').

'modelname' is the name of the model declared in the ATL header. It 
returns a String with the URI of the model.

To be able to use the handler, you must install the model handler 
plug-in, and choose 'AMW' in the list of model handlers in the ATL 
launch configuration.

The following link has more information about using the handler:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/AMW_Model_Handler#generateModelRef

Regards,

Marcos.
