Eclipse UML Generators Project provides components that automatically bridge the gap between UML models and source code. Either by extracting data from UML models (and UML profiles or decoration models) to produce source code or by reverse-engineering source code to produce UML models.

Code generation uses Acceleo. It is incremental and can be extended thanks to its overriding system.

In most cases, these generators do not need to rely on a profile and use the native structure of UML.

Acceleo is an implementation of the MOF Model-To-Text Transformation Language (MTL) specification from OMG.

UML (Unified Modeling Language) is the specification from OMG. The current version is 2.x.
