Modello Model Version Converter Plugin
Modello Model Version Converter Plugin generates code to transform a model between two versions.
converters
The source model version to convert from is in modello.version parameter: noted
A.B.C.
The target model version is the greatest of modello.all.versions parameter: noted
X.Y.Z.
converters generator creates
my.model.package.vA_B_C.converter.VersionConverter interface and a
BasicVersionConverter class implementing the interface to convert a class model from version
A.B.C to X.Y.Z. If versions are different, model classes are supposed to be available
in their corresponding java packages with version. If versions are equals, model classes are supposed to be
available in the java package both with and without version, the package with version being the source model
and the package without version being the target.
For every class in the source model, a method is generated in the interface and an automatic implementation generated in the class with following signature:
public my.model.package[.vX_Y_Z].ModelClass convertModelClass( my.model.package.vA_B_C.ModelClass )
In addition, if source and target versions are equals, a
my.model.package.converter.ConverterTool is generated to automate reading a file,
detect its model version (using StAX reader delegate generated code), and convert it to the target model version
in the java package without version using generated BasicVersionConverter class:
public my.model.package.RootClass convertFromFile( File f )
throws IOException, XMLStreamException
