Model and meta model [message #1849201]

Hi

Imagine I create my own modeling language 'MyModelingLanguage' in ecore with instance having extension 'mml'.
In this language, I define the concept/class important in my business area, in e.g. my model 'MyBusinessArea.mml'.
How can I then generate the java classes with emf infrastrructure from 'MyBusinessArea.mml'?
Do I have to convert instances from 'MyBusinessArea.mml' to ecore to do so or is there an alternative way?

Thank you and kind regards,

You could convert to Ecore to reuse/leverage its existing Java generation capabilities, if the concepts are relatively closely matched. Or you can write your own generator directly against your own model; you might implement your generator using Xtend, or using JET templates as we've done for Ecore, or just using plain old Java.
