Applying ATL Transformation [message #1708590]

I need to apply model transformation on a model, which is already open in an ecore editor.

How can I do this?

At the same time, I need to preserve the changes that are already made on the model before applying the transformation. Is this possible?

Hi

Of course it's possible; it's only software, but I think you will need
to write the glue functionality.

You probably need to add a menu action to the Ecore Editor, that
maintains the editor and launches the transformation.

If this doesn't make sense to you then the answer is No.

Hi Ed,

Thanks for your reply.

But I want to apply the transformation programmatically any time, when the same model is changed by a remote user.

Hi

Your requirements are very vague and unstable.

The Sample Ecore Editor is a 'Sample' demonstrating what you can do. You
are free to use it as the basis/inspiration for your own developments.

If what you really want is an auto-save action, you could probably
organise it by ensuring the your XXX metamodel has an XXXResourceFactory
and XXXResource registered for the *.xxx extension. The XXXResource can
then do transformation invocation as part of save in any model
loading/saving tool.
