Jan,
Sorry for late reply, I was abroad.
I've added MoDisco newsgroup to the discussion. Maybe they are interested.

For know I am using MoDisco J2SE5 metamodel/discoverer with small
changes (I have removed ATL dependencies, as I don't use J2SE5 -> KDM ->
UML, nor ATL).
MoDisco have a bit newer (and as they claim better) model/discoverer
http://wiki.eclipse.org/MoDisco/Java , thus I will probably move to it
one day. The metamodel is not much different, so it should be easy.

I have working but incomplete templates in Eclipse M2T Xpand for
generating Java code from J2SE5 metamodel. They are not "production
quality". As I said before they do not handle comments, generics and
some basic constructs are missing. It is possible that they have some
errors, as they was not tested much. Nevertheless they works for me ;)
I can share them, preferably as open source contribution.
But, AFAIK MoDisco plans to develop some kind of serialization for Java
model. I am not sure will it be Java or Acceleo based serialization though.

I don't know that, you can ask on EMF forum.

Thanks for your interest in MoDisco.
Please, don't hesitate to provide your feedback on this new Java
metamodel implementation (and corresponding discoverer) ;-)

I would be great to have a standard serialization available for the Java
metamodel.
This is something we could discuss and your contribution could be
potentially made available via MoDisco at some point...

Hugo

You're right! These three metamodels correspond to the several
iterations that have been made in order to reach a fully satisfying
version, the Java metamodel being this final version.

It is true that our current works mainly use ATL as a M2M technology and
Acceleo as a M2T one.
However, MoDisco is not dependent from these technologies: it is
designed so that any kind of M2M or M2T technology may be used within a
given reverse-engineering process.
According to this, several drivers for such different technologies have
already been committed to the project.
Of course, we are open to potential contributors of other drivers for
other technologies ;-)
Best regards,
Hugo

Hi Krzysztof,
I will complete Hugo's answer :
Yes, the 'Java' metamodel is now the recommended one ('JavaAST' et 'J2SE5' will become 'deprecated').
We are currently working on a serialization for 'Java' models, which will be released for the end of the year.
This serialization will cover all the aspects of the Java language.
Nevertheless, the generations rules that you already wrote for 'J2SE5' are welcome. It could be made available via MoDisco for 'J2SE5' models, whatever the technology used (Acceleo, Xpand... ), and even if all aspects of the Java language are not managed.
Best regards.
