Hi,
Below an answer of William Piers, who is currently working on the m2m
part of modeling, especially in the ATL and QVT-R projects.

ATL can be launch in several ways :
- using Eclipse's launch configurations : by this way you can transform
EMF models persisted as .ecore files.
- using ant : you can chain ATL transformations, and trigger any other
actions during that process
- programmatically (inside/oustide of Eclipse) : you can use "customize"
atl APIs to launch ATL transformations using Java code. For instance,
this will allow you to use in-memory models.
Note that we intent, in the next months, to provide a more usable API
for programmatic use of ATL. This will be helpful in your case, as for
many users who often develop their own extensions over ATL.

Here is links to the relevant documentation :
http://www.eclipse.org/m2m/atl/doc/
This one is quite out of date (still valid, but doesn't contains all
informations), so you also can refers to the wiki :
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/ATL
