I want to invoke the workflow from Java, but I couldn't find much javadoc about that.
I only found the javadoc for oaw4.1
http://www.openarchitectureware.org/api/oaw4/4.1.0/core/inde x.html
and it's not detailled enough.

What I mostly want to know, is when calling the run method

public boolean run(String workFlowFile,
                   ProgressMonitor theMonitor,
                   Map<String,String> theParams,
                   Map<String,?> externalSlotContents)

how can I link theParams (or externalSlotContents) to my workflow file ?

One day I shall master M2T, but that day has yet to come...

Hello, just use the params as you are used to use properties in your workflow

Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();

params.put("model.file", "my.model");
params.put("target.dir", "src-gen");

WorkflowRunner workflowRunner = new WorkflowRunner();
workflowRunner.run(
				workFlowUri.getPath(),
				new org.openarchitectureware.workflow.monitor.NullProgressMonitor(),
				params, new HashMap<String, Object>());

<property name='modelFile' />
  <property name='targetDir'/>
  <component file='de/itemis/xprofile/editor/xtext/parser/Parser.oaw'>
     <modelFile value='${modelFile}'/>
     <outputSlot value='model'/>
  </component>
