AM3/Ant Tasks

am3.loadModel

• Description

This task is used to load a model. This model may be a terminal model or a metamodel. The metametamodels are typically not loaded with this task since they come bundled with a model handler.

• Parameters

Attribute	Description	Required	Default value
name	Name of model in task context	Yes	None
metamodel	Name of metamodel in task context	Yes	None
path	Path of file to load	Yes	None
modelHandler	Model handler of loaded model	No	EMF

• Parameters specified as nested elements

• Examples

<am3.loadModel modelHandler="EMF" name="News" metamodel="MOF" path="/org.eclipse.am3.zoos.atlantic/News.ecore" />

<am3.loadModel modelHandler="EMF" name="IN" metamodel="KM3" path="/org.eclipse.am3.zoos.atlantic/Amble.km3">
 <injector name="ebnf">
  <param name="name" value="KM3" />
 </injector>
</am3.loadModel>

<am3.loadModel name="myXML" metamodel="XML" path="/test/testQuery.xml">
 <injector name="xml" />
</am3.loadModel>

am3.saveModel

• Description

This task is used to save a model.

• Examples

<am3.saveModel model="myXML" path="/test/opop.xml">
 <extractor name="xml" />
</am3.saveModel>

<am3.saveModel model="news_model" path="/test/news.ecore" />

<am3.saveModel model="IN" path="/test/MyKM3.km3">
 <extractor name="ebnf">
  <param name="format" value="KM3.tcs"/>
  <param name="indentString" value=" "/>
  <param name="serializeComments" value="false"/>
 </extractor>
</am3.saveModel>

am3.atl

The purpose of this task is to execute an ATL transformation. The models used by a transformation are referenced by their IDs as defined at their loading time (see AM3_Ant_Tasks#am3.loadModel).

There is an exception for metametamodels, which are typically already available from the model handler. A metametamodel is referenced by a string composed of a percent character (i.e. '%') followed by the name of the model handler. For instance: '%EMF' refers to Ecore and '%MDR' refers to MOF 1.4.
