Hi all,

I'm trying to execute a M2T transformation using Xpand on a model created by GMF in a running instance of Eclipse. I have been doing some research and I think I need to use the WorkflowRunner class in order to dynamically specify the path of the instance model and the output path.

Can anyone suggest any tutorials that can help me to create a java class that can execute my MWE workflow file?

Another Question I have is how can I specify the path of the instance model directly in the MWE file? currently I am using the path 'org.Sparql.transformation/src/Top.xmi' to point to an instance model i have created in the development workbench, however the path of the model I want to transform is 'C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\runtime-EclipseApplication\Test\defa ult10.sparql' in the runtime Workbench.

Many thanks and regards,

jB

If you just want to invoke Xpand, you can use XpandFacade.
