Epsilon is a family of languages and tools for code generation, model-to-model transformation, model validation, comparison, migration and refactoring that work out of the box with EMF, UML, Simulink, XML and other types of models.
The currently supported epsilon language dialects are:
-
EOL (Epsilon Object Language)
-
ETL (Epsilon Transformation Language)
-
EVL (Epsilon Validation Language)
-
EGL (Epsilon Generation Language)
-
EGX (Epsilon Generation XML(?))
-
EML (Epsilon Merging Language)
-
ECL (Epsilon Comparison Language)
To understand the epsilon stack recommended to read the free epsilon book: https://www.eclipse.org/epsilon/doc/book/
This example there is a model definition which can define a simple class structure with attributes and references. That models can be transformed to Liquibase (https://www.liquibase.org/) scripts. Liquibase XML format used which is defined with an XSD file, which techcally the meta model of an XML file. The original XSD file was modified (https://github.com/BlackBeltTechnology/epsilon-runtime/blob/develop/epsilon-runtime-execution/src/test/resources/liquibase.xsd) to be compatible with Ecore metamodel structure, so the output of transformation will be an XML file which is a Liquibase XML itself.

In EMF (Emfatic fomat) - You can convert between .ecore and .emf within eclipse. The epsilon-runtime will support emfatic format directly soon. |
