Using workflow with GMF 2.2 for Xpand + QVTO [message #139053]

So apparently in the wonderful world of GMF 2.2, we have switched from
Xtend to QVTO for the query.

If I look at some sample workflows I see something like:
<component class="org.eclipse.xpand2.Generator">
<metaModel id="mm"
class="org.eclipse.xtend.typesystem.emf.EmfRegistryMetaModel " />
<expand value="pmw2csv::Main FOR model" />
<outlet path="${out}" />
</component>

I'm guessing that for using QVTO, should the above component class
should be changed?

AFAIK:
1 - GMF Xpand and M2T Xpand are different and not compatible, the GMF
Xpand is now using QVTO

2 - there is no MWE component for GMF Xpand

3 - creating a workflow component is easy

This was part of my original confusion when I started with Xpand
recently, ie which version of Xpand goes with what GMF. It may be
me but I can't get the MWE/M2T combo to work on Galileo Modeling
but it works on all the other downloads if I install MWE/M2T myself.

Going forward which will be the definitive Xpand, M2T or GMF in future?
Why have 2 different things with the same name, it's confusing.
Is one going to be deprecated?

regards
Steve

You should ask on eclipse.modeling or (GMF and M2T) newsgroups.
