Interface Transformation

All Known Implementing Classes:
TransformationWrapper
public interface Transformation

A Transformation holds the logic to do a specific operation on a model. The generator will call a transformation on each model element.

Such an operation can be adding new classes to the model depending on the ModelElement given to transformation. Or adding default values to unsepcified variables.

Transformations play hand in hand with the code generation. If you feel the templates getting to complex consider applying a transformation to simplify template implementation.

The order of execution can ba very important. The transformations of a cartridge are executed in exact the order as they are listed by the cartridge.

Every cartridge runs on a new instance of Model. But the modified model as transformed by transformation 1 is given to transformation 2 inside the same cartridge.
