Hi, Christian,

The Eclipse Modeling Project's M2M sub-project has a number of options
available for model-to-model transformations, including ATL, QVT, and
oAW. You might browse their website and Wiki at eclipse.org and follow
up with questions on their newsgroup (which I have included in this reply).

HTH,

Christian

Hi Christian,

Epsilon does support model transformation and in fact it also provides a
language (superset of the transformation language) that directly
addresses model merging.

Two examples of model transformation and merging using Epsilon are
available in http://www.eclipse.org/gmt/epsilon/doc/examples.php
("Transforming an Object Oriented model into a Relational Database
model" and "Merging two Object Oriented models" respectively).

Please feel free to ask any further questions about Epsilon in the
eclipse.epsilon newsgroup which I've included in this reply.

Cheers,
Dimitrios
