Enabling reverse transformations

You can enable a reverse transformation if it is supported and installed. Reverse transformations enable you to recover changes to the model or recover changes to source code. This process is useful when the model and code are developed concurrently. This option is only available when you create or edit a UML-to-Java transformation configuration.

To enable the reverse transformation in a transformation configuration:

In the Project Explorer view, right-click a transformation configuration file; then click Open.
Click the Main tab.
On the Main page, select the Enable reverse transformation check box.
Click File > Save.

The next time that you run the transformation, the reverse transformation is also available in the list of transformations.

Note: If you create a new transformation configuration, you can enable the reverse transformation on the Name and Transformation page of the New Transformation Configuration wizard.
