[ATL] File Path Problem [message #522016]

Hi everyone,

I have been building a ATL plugin for a GMF DSL.

In the initial Eclipse, I created the plugin project - PluginATL:

PluginA
- AcitonHandler.java
- transformation.atl
- metamodel.ecore

What I want to do now is that I want to access the metamodel.ecore in AcitonHandler.java to configure the metamodel for the ATL Execution Launch engine. However, I do not know how to get the relative path of the PluginA folder.

I checked some of the messages, but most of them are about getting the path in the runtime-eclipse environment, not the parent Eclipse environment. Therefore, the desired result is that when ActionHandler.java is triggered in the runtime-Eclipse, it can access the metamodel.ecore in the parent Eclipse folder.

Thanks a lot.

Yu

I suggest you add an EMF "dynamic_package" extension point on your
metamodel plug-in and then use the metamodel URI (like
"http://www.my.metamode.org/1.0") as the "path" to it in your
transformation.
