ATLFlow 0.0.22

bugfixes

The externalCallable diagram element was removed from the diagram by a semantic update.
The eef generator calls EcoreUtil.resolveAll to resolve the proxies when the genmodel is loaded.

ATLFlow 0.0.21

The eef propertie view tabbed is added to the properties view, the view allows you to edit the predicate in PredicateSwitch and CompositePredidactes directly.

generators

Added preferences for some generators to define the meta model uris they work on and one new generator frameworks are added.

• eef properties initializer and code generator
• Acceleo code generator

All changes in the release 0.0.21.

ATLFlow 0.0.20

A new template project wizard is added,it contains parameterized transformation chains like generating a gmf editor, which is equals to the „samples/generateGMF.html” other wizard. A short cut in the context menu let you create an appropriated start config and definition file.Now the transformation can be controlled by the PropertyValueSwitch and the PredicateSwitch element. You can also call other callable elements in different processes with the ExternalCall element.

ecore model

• A Predicate and PropertyValueSwitch PropertyValueSwitch are introduced as flow control elements.
• The externalCall element is a kind of subprocess, calling a delegates Callable and returns to the next Callable.

gmf transformation

Changes in the gmf process.

• You can add labels without a feature to a node or link. In the custom.atl file is a map to define them and set default values.
• There is a new FigureRule to create simple Label figures called ‚label’.
• Variable _plugin_name_ and _fileextension_name_ let you define the equally properties for the transformation.

ui

Changes in the ui.

• A ‚new wizard’ has been added, it creates a project with template transformation flows.
• For the ecore model file a .popup menu is available to create a lauchconfiguration and custom.atl file usable with the template transformation for GMF.

All changes in the release 0.0.20.

ATLFlow 0.0.19

The model contains a property element for substitution in artifact URI and name.

• These properties have a default value. In the start configuration it is be possible to set a property value.
• To define the properties and set the values there is a tabbed property section to define them, just like the EAnotaions in the ecoretools editor.
• The substitution of properties affect the artifact URI, the property name it self, and the artifact name.
• A property can be defined by another property, eg. ${base} = XXX ${baseExtension}=${base}YYY will produce XXXYYY for ${baseExtension}
• There are several dialog types,„string” for a simple input dialog, „resource” for a workspace resource, „container” for a workspace container, and „uri” for a ExtendedLoadResourceDialog. These dialog will popup if selected in the launch configuration.

ecore model

The ecore model has changed.

• The generator instances are removed from the ecore model.
• A property element was added.
• The namespace has to change to http://urszeidler.de/callchain/2010/flowmodel.

gmf transformation

• There is a called rule for choosing the figure role (createFigure ), there are at the moment only two called rules „svgFigure” and „default”.
• For svgFigure there is map in the configuration file „svgUris” where the uris can be mapped for a element.
