Generate Oid list from Mib model

To generate Oid list (i.e text file) from Mib model, there are a few readily available Model to Text Transformation (M2T) tools for EMF.

• Acceleo
• Xtend
• Jet

I have started this work on Acceleo, and find the editor's content assist is pretty good and and straight forward way to apply launcher menu for mib files - almost no coding except the template declaration which is based on MOFM2T.

I will try to detail the steps clearly as I could for others to benefit. I struggled to get these end to end steps correct as most of tutorials out there are by features and less based on use-case (on top of that I used Xcore for model, hence it was a blocker at start).

1. Install Acceleo from Modelling Component place (Version: 3.5.1), and change to Acceleo perspective, this makes lots of handy tool/wizard simple to find as oppose continue working on Java perspective.
2. Acceleo Create Project wizard does not recognize Xcore as model. Therefore, I had to generate Ecore model first. Choose Mib.xcore from Package Explorer, and click "new -> Other..", choose EMF Generator Model. This will generate both Ecore and genmodel.
3. Create a new Acceleo project "com.ravi.mib.acceleo.module.oid". On second wizard page - "Create a new Acceleo generation file", change module name to "oid" and search for Mib model from "Runtime Version" (http://www.ravi.com/ibm/xtext/Mib). Change template name to "generateOid" and type to "MibModel"
4. Once the project created, edit com/ravi/mib/acceleo/module/oid/common/oid.mtl file and apply following template.

oid.mtl

[comment encoding = UTF-8 /]
[module oid('http://www.ravi.com/mib/xtext/Mib')]

[template public generateOID(model : MibModel)]
 [comment @main /]
 [for (d : Definition | model.definitions)]
  [file (d.name.toString().concat('.oid'), false, 'UTF-8')]
   [for (oid : Identifier | d.identifiers)]
    [if (isValidObjectType(oid))]
[oid.name/],[oid.value.oid/],[getPrimitive(oid)/],[getDerived(oid)/]
    [/if]
   [/for]
  [/file]
 [/for]
[/template]

[query private isValidObjectType(oid : Identifier) : Boolean = 
 oid.oclIsTypeOf(ObjectType) and
 not oid.oclAsType(ObjectType).type.typeName.oclIsUndefined() and
 oid.oclAsType(ObjectType).type.typeName.toString().strcmp('OBJECT IDENTIFIER') <> 0
/]

[query private getPrimitive(oid : Identifier) : String =
  if oid.oclAsType(ObjectType).type.dataType.derived.name.oclIsUndefined() then
  ''
 else
  oid.oclAsType(ObjectType).type.dataType.derived.name.toString()
 endif
/]

[query private getDerived(oid : Identifier) : String = 
 oid.oclAsType(ObjectType).type.typeName.toString()
/]



5. There will be an error afterwards for "oid.common" package to be exported. Do as suggested.

6. Now for launcher menu, select earlier created Acceleo project from Package Explorer and choose new Acceleo UI Launcher project, On "Acceleo UI Launcher settings", change model file name filter to "*.mib" and target folder access to "...getFolder("oid")".
7. Finally modify label for menu as "Mib Generator"

8. Once eclipse instance is launched, Generate Oid option should available for mib files.
