Hi,
I found out that in the new extracted java model (from Modisco 0.8), some attributes related to original source code positions of the model elements are no longer provided (which were in j2se5 model). They are:
- originalColumnNumber
- originalLastLineNumber
- originalLength
- originalLineNumber
- originalStartPosition
We now get originalCompilationUnit and originalClassFile instead.
What motivated the removal of the aforementioned attributes?
Since we need them in our transformation project,
is there a way to retrieve them again using Modisco?
Thanks.
Cheers,
Lom

Hello Lom,
I'm glad that you used to use the java model. So here is some explanation of these attributes removal: these attributes
have been considered as technical (and not java, because it is common to all languages), so it would be common sense to
have them for all kind of source files. It means that we have specific metamodel for such things (to represents source
files), and to link a java model with source model, a composite model has been defined. However, as the work was not
complete for the 0.8 it had not been released. It is still under development, but some experimentation will be soon
available in the SVN repository (it you are interested, we may deliver it to you sooner).
Regards,
Gabriel
