[news.eclipse.modeling.m2m] Re: ATL rule transform: output model format

[min.kong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Min)]

Hi,

What I meant by "output format" is the serialization form/language by 
which the output is produced, as a result of an ATL rule transform.

My understanding is that, an ATL rule transform always produces the output 
in XMI (while the output data/content can express/represent an UML model, 
any model based on MOF, or models of other metamodel languages).

What I'm interested in, is getting an ATL rule transform output in a 
non-XMI format. I am not sure if it is possible with ATL rules. I think 
that an ATL rule transform always gives a file in XMI. Please confirm.
