Hello All,
Actually I'm a beginner in M2M and Ecore tools.
I'm trying to transform BPMN model that is generated by eclipse BPMN Modeler to UML-AD model which could be represented by the eclipse UML2 diagrams.
I'm using ATL for the transformation. I faced the below problems:

1- From where would I get bpmn.ecore metamodel file that eclipse BPMN Modeler does conform with?
--> I overcome this problem by getting this file from the BPMN source code. Please let me know if there is a better way to get the file.

2- From where would I get the uml.ecore metamodel file that eclise UML2 diagrams do conform with?
--->I overcome this problem by getting this file from the UM L2source code. Please let me know if there is a better way to get the file.

3- I created the source BPMN sample model using eclipse BPMN model and the two files have been created. I used the .bpmn file as the input file to the ATL module with the above .ecore metamodel files fon IN metamodel and OUT metamodel. But I received the below errors on console:

Resource for org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EClassImpl@12a4e43 (eProxyURI: platform:/resource/bpmn2AD/di.ecore#//Diagram) is null; cannot be referenced
Resource for org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EClassImpl@12a4e43 (eProxyURI: platform:/resource/bpmn2AD/di.ecore#//Diagram) is null; cannot be referenced
Resource for org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EClassImpl@12a4e43 (eProxyURI: platform:/resource/bpmn2AD/di.ecore#//Diagram) is null; cannot be referenced

No Resource found, unable to extract to platform:/resource/bpmn2AD/generated.uml

Do you know why this exception has been thrown? I don't know if th .bpmn file is metamodel representation that the ATL will understand or no! If it is the right representation file, so what is the problem? If it is not the right file, how could I get the metamodel representation for my BPMN sample model?

Appreciating your help.

Thank you,
Mohamed Shalaby

Hi Mohamed,

I have a similar problem when trying to launch a stand-alone (java application) model transformations.

When loading the source metamodel (ecore file), I get a series of warning as follows:

Resource for org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EDataTypeImpl@44739f3f (eProxyURI: platform:/plugin/org.eclipse.emf.ecore/model/Ecore.ecore#//EFeatureMapEntry) is null; cannot be referenced

Do you have any idea how to fix this?
Etienne.
