[news.eclipse.modeling.m2m] [ATL] Graphical development of ATL transform

[Marcos Didonet Del Fabro <marcos.didonet-del-fabro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We have been using the ATLAS Model Weaver (AMW: http://www.eclipse.org/gmt/amw/) to ease 
the task of developing ATL transformations.

We take advantage of the adaptive interface of AMW to develop a metamodel extension with 
elements equivalent to the ones used in ATL: (modules, rules, input and output elements, 
bindings).

This extension enables to create simple ATL transformations using the graphical interface 
of AMW. This extension does not intend to support all the features of the ATL metamodel. 
It is a first step .

For the moment, the plug-in is available only in the AMW CVS 
(http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/indextech.cgi/org.eclipse.gmt/AMW). The plug-in name is 
"org.eclipse.gmt.weaver.qatl". The sources contain an illustrative example. We plan to 
create some documentation soon.

Any questions about this topic can be done in the AMW newsgroup 
(news://news.eclipse.org/eclipse.modeling.gmt.amw).


Regards,

Marcos.
