In case you didn't notice, Amalgam is now providing downloads:
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/amalgam/downloads/

Three packages are currently available:

Eclipse Modeling Tools - an Eclipse Packaging Project deliverable that
includes most Modeling project SDKs, and will be delivered with Galileo.

DSL Toolkit - A set of modeling technologies delivered as an Eclipse product
that focuses on the needs of a modeling Toolsmith; that is, it provides EMF,
GMF, OCL, QVT, Xpand, UML and other capabilities. It also includes the
sample projects from the book "Eclipse Modeling Project: A Domain Specific
Language Toolkit" (http://safari.informit.com:80/9780321591364 - yes, a
shameless plug)

Modeler - A lightweight set of modeling technologies delivered as an Eclipse
product that focuses on the needs of a modeling Practitioner; that is, it
provides UML and BPMN diagramming capabilities.

Feedback and contributions welcome, as always.

Thanks,
Rich

Hi Rich,

thanks for the work.
I wonder how it is decided or who decides what components e.g. "DSL
Toolkit" is made of?
I mean, why is ATL or EcoreTools not included for instance?
And what do we have to do in order to get TMF Xtext included in it?

Also I don't think it's a good idea to claim, that "Xpand" is included
as long as it just includes the customized version you have under GMF.
As Xpand is an active project with working builds under M2T this might
confuse users.

Cheers,
Sven

So far, it's been me, and those who have opened bugs to have additional
components added (e.g. SCA modeling to the Modeler download). Additional
information can be found on the Amalgam wiki:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/ModelingAmalgam

> I mean, why is ATL or EcoreTools not included for instance?

Frankly, because I started with those technologies I included in the book.
I'm fine with adding additional components, but as always at Eclipse,
contributions are welcome.

> And what do we have to do in order to get TMF Xtext included in it?

Open a bug. I'd like very much to add a TMF component.

Check out the Ganymede version of the DSL Toolkit. There, you'll find the
original Xpand and MWE components. In the newer version, which I use for
Galileo releng, I needed to combine QVT and Xpand invocation in an Ant to
automate the process. Given the support I can get from GMF's Xpand and QVT
is a bit better than Xpand and MWE as of late, it was the easiest way to get
what I needed. And, I do prefer the direction that GMF's Xpand is making in
terms of leveraging OCL and QVTO. I can certainly clarify in the
description which version of Xpand that's included, if it would make you
feel better.

Well, we can continue this discussion on the next PMC call, I suppose.

We'll be glad to help you with the build.

Yes, that makes sense to me. Unfortunately I'll be on vacation from dec
15th till january 5th. So maybe we can discuss it on the PMC call on
January 20th?

Hi Sven,

I created a wiki page for the January call and added the Xpand topic.

Check out the Ganymede version of the DSL Toolkit. There, you'll find the
original Xpand and MWE components. In the newer version, which I use for
