Hello,

I am a university student and doing some studies about meta model
composition.

I am new with ATL and I read the basic examples and the manual.

Now I started with my own simple example. My objective is to take 2 meta
models and do an union to produce a composed meta model.

So I took the Family.ecore and Persons.ecore meta models, and I want to
get a FamilyUnionPersons.ecore. The resulting meta model should contain
then elements of both meta models:
- Family
- Member
- Persons

For the moment, as I am beginning with ATL and I am faced to some
dificulties, I would like to at least produce a resulting meta model which
will contain elements of the Family.ecore meta model. I tried with Ecore
eClasses and now I am trying with Ecore EPackage in order to try to have
the EPackages from the Families meta model in the resulting meta model.

Here is the ATL file i created in order to get this resulting Ecore meta
model:

------------------------------------------------------------

module simpleUnion; -- Module Template
create FamiliesUnionPersons : Ecore from Families : Ecore, Persons : Ecore;

rule CopyOfFamilies {
from
fc : Families!"ecore:EPackage"
to
rc : FamiliesUnionPersons!"ecore:EPackage" (
name<-fc.name
)
}

------------------------------------------------------------

I created the launch configuration with:
Meta model: Ecore;
Source Models: Families.ecore, Persons.ecore;
Target Model: FamiliesUnionPersons.ecore

I am getting this error message in the console:

SEVERE: ****** BEGIN Stack Trace

Do you have any idea on what I am doing wrong?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi Xavier,

Your rule should be updated as the following:

rule CopyOfFamilies {
from
fc : Ecore!EPackage
to
rc : Ecore!EPackage (
name<-fc.name
)
}

Freddy.
