Non-Code Aspects
Build
ATL releng system recently moved to the common Hudson build server and uses Tycho to build.
Unit tests
Non-regression tests covers most of the Core part of ATL. ATL transformation engines, compilers, parser, formatter are covered by those tests. ATL uses EMFCompare to check model results.
Code quality
Checkstyle activated on each distinct plug-in.
Yourkit used on a regular basis to improve performances.
APIs
Metamodel definitions and interfaces are considered APIs.
APIs provide access to programmatic launch of ATL components (transformation engine, parser, compiler).
Documentation
The documentation that comes with ATL 3.3 is available in the Help menu : ATL Model To Text Transformation Language.
The documentation is also fully available on the wiki http://wiki.eclipse.org/ATL. The main sections are:
- ATL User Guide: a complete description of the tooling and the ATL language
