Hi,

I have generated my genmodel out of the Ecore.

The attribute "Label Feature" is set to "name:EString" by default.
But I want it to be another attribute, e.g. "shortName:EString". This would simply imply: change from "name:EString" to "shortName:EString"

Is there a way to do it for all elements using a script ? I don't want to set it by hand because the genmodel has several hundred elements.

Thanks

Hi

A genmodel is a model so of course an M2M is possible.

The change is very regular, so I suspect that a simple text editor
search and replace might work.

But, the genmodel derives the label feature automatically. You might be
able to adjust your Ecore model so that genmodel is correct in the first
place.

I really need to change the genmodel. Text search & replace won't work either.
Which technology would you recommend for the M2M transformation ?

Hi

The MMT home page
http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project.php?id=modeling.mmt lists
available Eclipse M2M tools.

Since your change is very small you want something that facilitates a
copy by default; I think ATL may have this.
