Hi every body
I want to transform a model written in MOF to a model in EMF and then transfer it back to MOF, I have searched alot for a plug-in but I couldnt find it, if you know any please address it for me... I thing it's possible using ATL but I dont know how to use ATL in this process when the core of the models are different I mean one is Ecore and the other is MOF core... can you help me with this...?

Salman,

Not sure exactly what you mean by MOF, but an Ecore model can be saved
as either Ecore format or EMOF format using either
EcoreResourceFactoryImpl or EMOFResourceFactoryImpl to create the
resource used for serialization. No transformation is required...

thank for your reply, actualy MOF is an old meta-model which has influenced the design of EMF, UML's meta-model is MOF and I'm working on a paper related to transforming these two meta-models I know that its possible with ATL but I need guid in programming with ATL when the core of the two models are different (in this case MOF and EMF). again thanks Wink

Hi Salman

I don't think you understood Ed's reply.

MOF as such is generic. In practice either CMOF or EMOF are used.

Since EMF tooling supports loading of EMOF models (and UML2 tooling
supports loading of CMOF models) there is no need to write a
transformation inorder to use MOF models with EMF.

[The meta-model of UML is currently CMOF, but that is changing, in UML
2.4, to UML so that UML is self-describing.]

UML 2.0 is defined EMOF and CMOF; is that what you're talking about?

EMF is the framework as a whole; it doesn't denote any particular model.
If you mean Ecore ,which is isomorphic to EMOF and can be serialized
to/from EMOF, it's better to call it it.

So it's not clear what you're trying to transform to what. I.e., MOF
to UML? MOF to Ecore? Are both EMOF and CMOF are involved?

Hi
thank you all, you know, I need to represent a program that gets a model in MOF (CMOF or EMOF) and then produces that model in EMF format (Considering all the rules described in Ecore) and then allows the user to do this process vise versa, I mean this program should change the XMI format of the source model to the XMI format of the target model.
I think I've found an e-clipse plug-in which name is "model2model qvt transformation", had any of you worked whit this plug-in before?
thank you all again Wink
