Hello,

i´m relatively new to the EMF community and i have to implement a Transformation from aadl to xml (a corresponding XSD exists).

Can anyone give me some hints where i should begin my work respectively which tools i need and where i should start reading ?

Thanks in advance

Hi

Your question doesn;t make sense; AADL is a 'useful' language. XML is a
useful representation for information.

Any sensible tooling for AADL should provide XML for free.

In the case of EMF, you can bootstrap the Ecore meta-model from the XSD.

If you have no AADL tooling at all then Xtext will enable you define the
textual grammar with respect to the Ecore meta-model and generate a rich
editing environment automatically.

Well, of course AADL Tools like OSATE provide a XML representation of a textual AADL Model 'for free'.
But our goal is to transform that XML represenation which conforms to the AADL MetaModel to another XML represenation conforming to a certain MetaModel.
The goal is to define a Model in AADL and then use it as Input for a simluation.
For the beginning i started to study QVT. If anyone can give me good tutorials or knows a better way i would be grateful.
Thanks

Hi

QVTo would be my choice of the tools today. Unfortunately the M2M/QVTo
project is not strong on tutorials.

There is one very useful example project that you can install that
demonstrates many principles.

The EclipseCon 2008 tutorial slides cover a lot of material but are
quite hard going.

The QVT specification has some useful examples, but not all of them are
legal QVTo.
