(A plugin for MagicDraw will come soon) · Split the model into parts and generate only the parts for your project. This feature makes it possible to build project families sharing a base model. · Configuration of the generator process · Transformations to modify the model before generation starts. · Transformations are written in Java. Most Java-IDEs support this language · Constraints for Model-Checks. · Constraints are written in Java. Most Java-IDEs.... · Templates for code generation. · Templates are written in Java.
