[Didier Delanote <didier.delanote@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

thanks for the quick reply. The problems I'm experiencing are all at the 
initial steps of coming to a weaving model.

At step 1/3 of the weaver wizard I get a "KM3 file not found" error 
message when trying to load the metamodel extension, although the KM3 
file is really there. There's a printscreen in attachment. This I can 
circumvent by coping the km3 file in the project workspace, which seems 
to work. But then at step 3/3, after picking a left and right model and 
hitting "Finish", I get another error message "Error to write metadata 
properties filenull".

If I had to guess, it seems to be down to EMF malfunctioning or a 
versioning mismatch. ATL and EMF (UML2 plugin) in the same Eclipse 
configuration work fine though. I've tried a number of different 
versions, and the ones I'm using now are:

Eclipse 3.1.0 GTK
EMF 2.1.0 runtime
ATL 20060630 for Eclipse 3.1, with antlr.jar and mdr jars where they're 
supposed to be
AMW 20060717

Does anyone have any clue about what's wrong?

Thanks,
Didier
