When it comes to performing the change, EWL is literally EOL.

The main difference is that with EWL, you can provide it as a right-click operation on the relevant model element, whereas with EOL you need to provide your own UI to launch the change.

Did you add the "org.eclipse.epsilon.ewl.emf.wizards" extension to the plugin providing the .ewl script? See here:

You need to open your META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file, go to the "Extensions" tab and add it with the Eclipse UI. To see that tab, the project with your EWL file must be a Plug-in Project, by the way.
