I am using the AM3 ANT plugin to save a UML model (using the am3.saveModel
Task). The UML model contains some classes with stereotypes applied. In
another target I load this model and start an ATL-transformation, which
uses this model as an inputmodel. In this transformation the applied
stereotypes are not recognized. If I start the transformation over an
Eclipse run-configuration everything works fine.
I looked in the generated .uml files and found that AM3 uses paths for
references in the UML-model, whereas ATL uses xmi:id attributes and
references the ids. It seems that references via path are not working for
applied stereotypes. And there is another downside of the paths: When
using model elements with names that contain spaces, the paths cannot be
dereferenced.
Is there a workaround, like an extractor for the am3.saveModel task that
can save the UML model with xmi:id attributes and references?
BTW: I am using Eclipse Ganymede with AM3 from the CVS (downloaded
yesterday).
