I want to specify parameters for a transformation.

There is an "How to" about this here: https://wiki.eclipse.org/ATL/Howtos#How_do_I_declare.2Fuse_external_parameters_in_ATL_transformations.3F

However it does not seem to work as specified. This is illustrated in the attached sample that generate the following exception when I try to execute it:

org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.impl.ResourceSetImpl$1DiagnosticWrappedException: org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi.PackageNotFoundException: Package with uri 'null' not found. (platform:/resource/[...]/TestScope.xml, 2, 13)

Any idea?

EMFTVM does not support the XML injector that can load schema-less XML into an EMF model. There are several other ways to provide parameters in a separate file to a transformation:

In an ATL library with helper attributes
In a separate Ecore model, e.g. by using EAnnotations

See attached zipped Eclipse project for an example of the second option.

Hello Dennis,

Thanks you. I'll study it.
On the other hand, do you mean that adding a XML schema would also be an alternative?

Using XML schema with EMF is much more labour intensive, even more so than defining a dedicated metamodel for parameters. See https://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/docs/2.x/tutorials/xlibmod/xlibmod_emf2.0.html

If you're looking for a generic parameter metamodel, here's an example: https://git.eclipse.org/c/mmt/org.eclipse.atl.git/tree/usecases/org.eclipse.m2m.atl.research.aml/dsls/AML/Metamodel/Parameter.ecore

Cheers,
Dennis

Thanks Dennis, eventually I decided to use the "ecore" solution as you suggest. It is convenient, indeed.
