[ATL] ATL as source metamodel [message #480229]

I want to create a transformation that transforms existing ATL
transformations into something else.
What steps should I take to create an ATL model from my textual
transformation such that I can use it as input model?
Do I need to use TCS for this, or are there other options as well?

I learned by going trough the ATL wiki that I can also use the ATL parser
to acquire an ATL model from a textual ATL transformation.

Can anybody explain to me how I can invoke just the ATL parser to generate
an ATL model from my ATL code?

Thanks!

To inject ATL code to ATL models, you need ATL+AM3. Having this version,
you have two ways to perform the injection:

1) using a contextual menu
Open AM3 perspective
Right click on transformation
Select the option Inject ATL file to ATL model

2) using an ANT task

<am3.loadModel modelhandler="EMF" name="transfo" metamodel="ATL" path="..">
<injector name="ebnf"> <param name="name" value="ATL"/>
<param name="parserGenerator" value="antlr3"/> <classpath>
<pathelement
location="/ATL/Syntax/ATL-parser.jar"/> </classpath> </injector>
</am3.loadModel>
For the second option... Find enclosed a project containing the
ATL-parser.jar, you should unzip it into your workspace.

Hi Marcel,

I suggest you to install the ATL version 3.0 from the CVS.
If there was any issue of inheritance rules in previous version, these
should be solved in ATL 3.0.

I actually tested the way of injecting ATL files (i.e., by means of Ant
task), I got the expected model. Notably, I got the references to
superRules.

Find below the ant task doing that:

<atl.loadModel modelHandler="EMF" name="transfo" metamodel="ATL"
path="..." >
<injector name="ATL"/>
</atl.loadModel>

The installation guide of ATL 3.0 is

http://wiki.eclipse.org/ATL_Developer_Doc#Install_ATL_from_C VS

Best regards,
