EXPORTING 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 follow :
"[name_of_current_model]Metamodel" and "http://[name_of_current_model]", respectively.
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 and a URI
composed as follow : "http://[nameof(meta)model]".
8- After entering those informations, 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.
