Acceleo is strictly for generating text (source code, documentation,
XML, whatever) from existing models.
When you define your metamodel using EMF, you can generate a basic
editor which can be used to create/view/edit instances of that model.
The generated editor is basic but functional to create small and simple
models.
If you want a more graphical and/or customized way to create/view/edit
your model instance, then Sirius (among other possibilities) comes into
play.
From the model instances you have created/edited (using whichever tool
you prefer), Acceleo can then be used to generate textual artifacts.

As I said above, Acceleo takes existing models as its input, so it is
not a good starting point if you start from zero. However once you have
your model instances, it can be used to generate any kind of text files,
including of course XML.

Hi Pierre-Charles
thanks for your quick response. I followed your advice and setup a
model first.
FWIW, I setup an EMF project converting an xml schema and
converted that project to sirius modeling nature.
Next to the model I created a viewpoint spec model, that is bound
to the model and setup a simple representation with default
layer and some diagram elements in it.
However, I am starting to get lost: When I now open the projects
viewpoint selection, it is remaining empty. My viewpoint is not visible.
Where did I go wrong or miss out on something?
Note, that I followed the 4 minute tutorial the other day, which
was succesful - so the environment is functional.
Cheers
Jörg
