QVT Setup (Eclipse)¶

This guide is for setting up the QVT transformation engine in Eclipse. It is not required to run the MiSAR parser or generate PSM files, but it is necessary for transforming PSM to PIM.

The QVT transformation engine is used to transform the generated PSM into a PIM, which is the recovered architectural model of the microservice system.

Install Eclipse Modeling Tools¶

Download Eclipse Modeling Tools package. Latest version can be found at: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/

Import Project¶

File → Open Projects from File System
