Generating EGL code from a UML model

The overall process for transforming a UML model includes the following:
  1. Open the EGL or EGL Web project that contains the model to transform. You can use an existing project or create a new project.
  2. From the Project Explorer, expand the project and right-mouse click on the model. Click Edit Transformation Parameters to create a transformation parameter file (.tpm).
  3. Apply a transformation to the UML model. Before running the transformation, select which transformation parameters to apply to the transformation by doing one of the following:
    • Click Manage Applied Transformation icon in the right upper corner of the Transformation Parameters Editor page and add the EGL Application Transformation to the model. This causes a new column, representing the applied transformation, to be added to the tree view of the editor.
    • Select a model element from the tree view, right click, and select EGL Application Transformation from the context menu. This causes the transformation to be applied to the model (if it is not already applied) and adds transformation parameters to the selected element.
  4. Click Run Transformation to start the transformation.

    There will be a tab in the run wizard for each transformation that is applied to the model. Click the tab to specify different projects for each generated component. At least one of the target projects must be the main project specified on the Default page.
