[Didier Delanote <didier.delanote@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm also trying to run this example, and I'm also experiencing some 
problems trying to extract the ATL code from the ATL-ecore model. Using 
the weaving model that comes with the example, and launching ATL, I get 
the ATL-ecore model as output, but the problem is that right-clicking I 
don't get an "Extract ATL-0.2 model into ATL-0.2 file" option. The ones 
I get are "Extract Ecore into KM3" and vice versa. What's going wrong?

Also, repeating Frank it would be interesting to know where the code 
that does this extracting is located.

Thanks,
Didier
