Removal of deprecated code

There were few classes that were marked as @deprecated and were not in use in 2.1 release. Only couple of them were almost API (they resided in a public package, but we never documented their use), namely org.eclipse.gmf.gmfgraph.util.FigureQualifiedNameSwitch and its subclasses. Few internal classes from org.eclipse.gmf.internal.bridge.naming.gen package were removed as well (GenModelNamingMediator interface, its implementations and related classes)

M2M (QVTO) transoformations

Bugzilla 259583 Both primary (gmfmap to gmfgen) or auxilary (in-place gmfgen modification) transformations are supported.

All GMF templates were migrated to QVTO-based Xpand

Xpand template engine was modified to use QVTO as query language (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=243154, https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=243156). All the existing GMF templates were migrated to new query language. You can find description of automated migration process here: GMF Xpand Migration howto

Escape characters are supported in QVTO-based

QVTO escape characters are supported in both .xtp and .qvto (a part of QVTO standard) files from now - see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=242880 for the details. Migration tool was updated to produce escape characters then necessary.
