Enabling ATL transformations into MDWorkbench projects

Prerequisites

These are the prerequisites to use ATL in MDWorkbench. MDWorkbench 3.0.0 ATL plugins (ATL download page).

Adding ATL capability

Once an MDWorkbench project is created, the ATL capability can be added from within the MDWorkbench perspective:

• From the MDWorkbench perspective, select the project in the Project Explorer view.
• Right-click the project to bring up the context menu and select the menu item MDWorkbench Tools > Convert to ATL Project.

Converting to an ATL project does the following:

• Converts your MDWorkbench project into a Plug-in project and adds com.sodius.mdw.core.atl as a required plugin to the project (to get the required ATL runtime jar files in the Java Build Path of the project).
• Adds the ATL nature to the project and enables the ADT features (for example, the ATL builder).
