Hello all,

While studying the source code of org.eclipse.m2m.qvt.oml, I noticed
that it does not expose an XMI representation of the QVT code merely an
object representation (AST).
It would be interesting to get the XMI representation of the parsed QVT
code. Is it possible to change the implementation to get an XMI
representation? What kind of changes would it require in the source code?


Best regards,

Alfons Laarman

Hi Alfons,

Right, access to XMI representation is still not available 'out of the =

box'.
You can access the AST model by loading a *.qvto file as a EMF resource
as there is a special QVT resource factory registered for this file =

extension.
It loads a resource containing the QVT concrete textual syntax.
Once you get access to the model you can use XMI serialization for savin=
g.

Still, when doing so, you would face some issues with dangling reference=
s =

to elements
from environments like dynamic types (collections, tuples) or to other =
=

imported modules.
This is to be solved by =

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=3D204085.

Note, that AST created by the parser is not exactly matching the AST mod=
el =

from the QVT spec,
we have to provide an export functionality for this.

Regards,
/Radek
