- This section describes the operation of the add-on toolbars and plugins available within AToMPM.
- Exporter of AToMPM's Metamodels and Models to Ecore
- ---------------------------------------------------
- This implementation allows you to export metamodels and models from AToMPM to Ecore.

- .. Installation
- .. ^^^^^^^^^^^^
- .. In the \\implementation folder, there are two folders: \Ecore and \Plugins.
- .. To install the exporting files, do the following :
- .. 1. Copy and paste the \Ecore folder in your AToMPM installation at \atompm\users\[your_username]\Toolbars.
- .. 2. Copy and paste the two files ExportMM2Ecore.js and ExportM2Ecore.js located in \Plugins in your AToMPM installation at \atompm\plugins.
- .. All the files have been properly installed.
- Utilisation
- ^^^^^^^^^^^
- To export metamodels or models in AToMPM, follow these steps:
- 1. Open a new session in AToMPM.
- 2. Click on the "(re-)load a toolbar" button.
- 3. In the \\Toolbars\\Ecore folder, choose "Export2Ecore.buttons.model" then click the "ok" button.
- 4. Load your metamodel or model in the current canvas.
- 5. If you want to export a metamodel, click on the "MM -> Ecore" button of the loaded toolbar (the first button). If you want to export a model, rather click on the "M -> Ecore" button (the second button).
- 6. If you want to export a model, you will be asked to enter the name of the model, the name of the metamodel and its URI. Also, you will be asked if you want a dynamic instance or a static one. There are default values:
- * The model's name will be the current model name
- * The metamodel's name and URI will be composed as follows:
- * "[name_of_current_model]Metamodel"
- * "http://[name_of_current_model]"
- 7. If you want to export a metamodel, you will be asked to enter the name of the metamodel and its URI. There are default values:
- * The name of the current metamodel
- * A URI composed as follows: "http://[name_of_(meta)model]".
- 8. After entering that information, click the "ok" button.
- 9. A file .ecore for a metamodel, or a file .xmi for a model, has been created. That file is in a folder \\exported_to_ecore located in the \\atompm folder of your AToMPM installation.
- 10. If you want to use the exported file in Eclipse, you have to register the metamodel.
- ModelVerse Toolbar
- ------------------
- .. warning:: The ModelVerse toolbar is currently in an alpha state. It is only intended as a prototype and should not be used for everyday use, as data loss is certain to occur.
- The ModelVerse toolbar is intended to allow for the user to load and save models to/from AToMPM to the Modelverse.
- .. warning:: Currently, only metamodels in the SimpleClassDiagram formalism can be loaded and saved, along with instance models.
- The first button on the toolbar connects to a running ModelVerse instance running on the current machine.
- The second button loads a model from the ModelVerse into the current AToMPM canvas.
- The third button saves the current AToMPM model to the ModelVerse.
