Setup instructions for a model-to-model transformation that specifies
a project as its source
To run the transformation, you must import the transformation plug-in
into your workspace, start the runtime workbench, import the UML test project,
and then invoke the transformation.
Import the sample
Procedure
On the sample overview page, click Import
the sample.
In the Sample Model-to-Model Transformations wizard,
in the Project Name field, specify a name for the sample
project.
Click Finish.
If you are prompted to switch to the Plug-in Development perspective,
click OK. The wizard creates the new
project in your workspace. The Package Explorer view
displays the new plug-in project. You can now browse the sample transformation
mapping model and transformation source code.
Results
The imported plug-in contains the following items:
In the models folder, a transformation mapping model
named project4source.mapping
In the src folder, the transformation source code
that is generated from the mapping model
In the Project4sourceTransformationValidator, Project4sourceTransformationProvider,
and Model2ModelTransform classes, modifications to the generated transformation
source code
Import test projects into the runtime workbench
Procedure
Start the runtime workbench.
Click Help > Help Contents.
On the Contents page, click Samples > Technology samples > UML models > Model-to-model transformation that specifies a project as its source.
On the sample overview page, click Import the test source
project.
In the Sample Transformations Test Project import
wizard, in the Project Name field, specify a name for
the test project.
Click Finish.
If you are prompted to switch to the Modeling perspective, click OK. The wizard creates the new project in your workspace. The Package
Explorer view displays the new plug-in project. You can now browse
the test models.
On the sample overview page, click Import the test target
project.
In the Sample Transformations Test Project import wizard, in the Project
Name field, specify a name for the test project.
Click Finish. The Package
Explorer view displays the new plug-in project. You can now browse
the transformation configuration file, which has .tc as a file name extension.
For this sample, the target test model is empty.
Run the transformation in a runtime workbench
Procedure
In the Package Explorer view, double-click
the transformation configuration file named runtest.tc.
Optional: If you specified a project name other than
the default name in step 5, you must
update the paths to the source and target models.
In the transformation configuration editor, on the Source
and Target tab, complete the following steps:
In the Source pane, click the test source project.
In the Target pane, click the target model in the test target
project.
Click File > Save.
On the Main tab of the transformation configuration
editor, click Run. The transformation
completes the following steps:
It copies elements from each model in the source project to a separate
package in the target model. This sample transformation supports only a subset
of UML elements. The target package in the target model has the same name
as the contributing source model.
It renames the target model to the name of the source project.
