Is it possible to develop a XMI to Java Code converter plugin? [message #1736244]

Hi all,

I need to develop a way of converting diagrams designed in Papyrus into Java Code in an automated manner. In other words I need to turn the task of converting the XMI generated to a specific Domain Specific Language (DSL) written in Java Code in a one-click task.

It is a very begginer question but I don't have any experience on Eclipse plugin development and the documentation available is not begginer friendly. Could someone suggest me a direction on how to do this? Developing a plugin couldn't even be the only way of doing it, but I can't make any conclusion just Reading the 'Developer Guide' available.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

There is already a java generator present in the "Papyrus Designer" component.

Did you tried it ?

Hi,

if the Java generator mentioned by Benoit does not fit your needs, you can build custom generators with Acceleo (http://www.eclipse.org/acceleo) or Xpand (https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/modeling.m2t.xpand).

Both alternatives may generate any textual format (including Java source code). And both are based on XMI.

Acceleo is an OMG MOF Model to Text Transformation Language (http://www.omg.org/spec/MOFM2T) implementation.

Xpand is a statically-typed template language based on EMF (http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/) the XMI implementation of Eclipse.
