How to reference external modules? [message #1852759]

I would like to share/reuse modules (either ATL or SimpleOCL ones) among miscellaneous transformation projects.

How to specify the "uses" directives in order to reference those "external" modules?

I tried to rely on "linked resources" but it looks like ATL does not recognize them.

ATL/EMFTVM relies on the concept of "module path", modeled after Java's classpath. See https://wiki.eclipse.org/ATL/EMFTVM#Module_import for an example of a (comma-separated) path definition, where EMFTVM looks up modules on multiple paths. Module paths are made up of any valid EMF URI, which can be workspace paths, filesystem paths, plug-in paths, registered namespace URIs, etc.

Cheers,
Dennis
