[news.eclipse.modeling.m2m] Re: [ATL] XML extraction with ATL 3.0

That's the point... at this time there is no XML extractor embedded into 
ATL, as the XML metamodel you (probably) use was historically provided 
by AM3 plugins.

There are several ways to generate XML from ATL: write your own 
extractor using ATL 3.0 API, or simply use EMF XSD to generate a 
metamodel from the XML Schema.

Best regards,

William
