Hello, I am new to this field. I have noticed that there are several projects under M2T. I would like to ask what are the main differences between the three tools Jet, Acceleo, and XPand.
Thank you .

Hi Mariam,
I'm not that expert, too. But I worked on that question as well and got some impression.
* JET - It's something like the Eclipse EMF defacto standard for generating code from models. You need a metamodel somehow XML based; UML will do very well. So you can generate Code from UML models, though UML-profiles are not, or not easily, supported, as far as I know.
* Acceleo implements the OMG's M2T standard. You will get code from any metamodel based model, UML and others.
* XPand is just like the above a metamodel based generation language, that uses a special template language.
They are alike, all of them work fine, so you have to like the one or another template notation. I'm working on a simple sample project showing those different notations and usage, but it's not ready yet.
