Hi

I need to take .atl files which describe transformations and derive an
equivalent .ecore file that is the ECore representation of the file in
XMI. I've tried searching everywhere and the only solution I've stumbled
across is the AM3 Injector. This would be fine except I can't seem to
install it for Eclipse 3.4 no matter what I try. I seem to even get errors
telling me it's missing deprecated versions of ATL.
Are there other solutions to get the ECORE-XMI of an ATL transformation or
even simply ECORE?
If not, can someone perhaps help bundle together the necessary
dependencies to use the AM3 plugin? I've been reading the instructions
over as well as other users' messages about problems and still do not have
a solution.
Thanks.

Sorry, I made a mistake. The files I need are .ecore files which are XMI
representations of the ATL file.

e.g. "
<elements xsi:type="atl:Helper" location="22:1-24:70">
<definition location="22:8-24:69">
<feature xsi:type="ocl:Operation" location="22:28-24:69"
name="firstCharToUpper">
..."

Thanks.

Hi Kyle,

If you can use ATL 3.0 with you Eclipse 3.4, this post

can help you.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion!
I'm currently having trouble getting ATL 3.0 to run in Eclipse as a
plug-in, so I'm attempting to perform this extraction via java code. I'm
writing code in Eclipse referencing the plugin JARs as externals in my
build path.
From reading the code, I assume I would make use of the AtlParser class to
extract the source. The method takes in an IModel however. I'm trying to
locate the appropriate method of loading the IModel from filespace but I
don't see anything too obvious.
Am I on the right path and if so, can someone drop a hint as to how I
would load my .atl transformation file? Thanks.

I think I'm on the right track with the IInjector class.

I've followed the code provided here and got stuck in the same place as
Miguel where the VM doesn't seem to be located via
CoreService.getLauncher(). Any ideas as to why or how to resolve this?
Thanks.
