Hi Eban,

I've not been keeping updated on what's happing in the UML2 project for a 
little while but I don't beleive generation of code from StateMachines has 
been implemented. I beleive the conversion from UML2 to Ecore is only for 
the class modelling parts of UML where equivalent EMF metaclasses exists. I 
think the only reason you are getting the "Product" come through is becuase 
in UML a StateMachine is a type of Class and it's getting picked up by the 
translater.

Implementing this type of generation isn't too hard once you are familar 
with both UML2 and EMF and you can achieve a lot of control. I've done it 
before so if you explain alittle more about what you are trying to achieve I 
might be able to give you some ideas.
