SmartQVT

SmartQVT is a unmaintained full Java open-source implementation of the QTV-Operational language which is dedicated to express model-to-model transformations. This tool compiles QVT transformations into Java programs to be able to run QVT transformations. The compiled Java programs are EMF-based applications. It is provided as Eclipse plug-ins running on top of the EMF metamodeling framework and is licensed under EPL.

SmartQVT is a unmaintained (since 2013) full Java open-source implementation of the QTV-Operational language which is dedicated to express model-to-model transformations.1 This tool compiles QVT transformations into Java programs to be able to run QVT transformations. The compiled Java programs are EMF-based applications. It is provided as Eclipse plug-ins running on top of the EMF metamodeling framework and is licensed under EPL.2

Components

SmartQVT contains 3 main components:

  • a code editor: this component helps the user to write QVT code by highlighting key words.
  • a parser: this component converts QVT code files into model representations of the QVT programs (abstract syntax).
  • a compiler: this component converts model representations of the QVT program into executable Java programs.
