[news.eclipse.modeling.m2m] Re: [ATL] Ecore model and Jet Template

[Alain Michel <michel.al1@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, there is an ATL metamodel. When you launch an ATL transformation 
written in the ATL concrete syntax, it is then injected into an ATL 
model conformed to the ATL metamodel. This also means that you can 
create a ATL transformation model from another ATL transformation.

The metamodel is here :
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.m2m/org.eclipse.atl/plugins/org.eclipse.m2m.atl.engine/src/org/eclipse/m2m/atl/engine/resources/ATL-0.2.ecore?root=Modeling_Project&view=log

To extract an ATL model to its concrete syntax (the ATL program) and to 
inject an ATL program into a ATL model, a TCS injector and extractor are 
used. TCS is a tool used to bridge the grammar technical space (programs 
defined by a grammar) and the model technical space (models conformed to 
a metamodel).
Installing the AM3 plugin will let you inject and extract ATL 
transformation from the eclipse UI.
