- Allow module level inheritance
- Provide short names as well as long names for metamodels
- Bind the metamodels to their name(s) (AM3)
- Improve the User Interface (AM3)
- Possible generation of bidirectional transformations:
* A solution based on AMW is given in the UMLProfiles example * A solution based on Constraint Logic Programming has been proposed by Marc Pantel
- Improve the debug mode and console (offer the possibility to stop or continue an ATL transformation after errors, …)
- Provide static analyzers
* a type checker… * a checker for “nullable” accesses (for example in OCL queries)
- Syntactic enhancement for the “resolveTemp” function (new name, …)
- Possible porting of the ATL virtual machine on embedded systems : provide “smaller” version of the ATL VM
- Implement new model handlers
- Implement new injectors
- Create a wiki web site for frequently asked questions (FAQ). It seems to be possible to use this wiki provided by Eclipse…
- Provide an extended way to define metamodels:
* Define metamodel’s extensions (conceptual solution)
- Provide editor(s) to allow ATL extensions
- Pluggable navigation languages (OCL of course but also other ones like XPath, XQuery, …)
Features currently being tested:
- Allow hierarchical packaging (extends a!b to a!b.c…)
Latest CVS version enables the use of <metamodel-name>!<package-name>::<class-name> for EMF. This patch provides the same feature for MDR.
- Provide support for using different files for defining a metamodel (technical solution)
This feature is implemented by this patch.
