Hello! I hope you are all doing good.

In the last step of my project I wanted to create an ATL plugin to be capable to export a jar. The transformation runs fine. However, when I try to create the Plugin and run it inside eclipse it keeps giving me the following error.

org.eclipse.m2m.atl.core.ATLCoreException: Built-in resource RefiningTrace.ecore not found
at org.eclipse.m2m.atl.core.emf.EMFModelFactory.getBuiltInResource(EMFModelFactory.java:179)
at SysAnnoPlugin.files.SysAnno.loadModels(SysAnno.java:135)
at SysAnnoPlugin.files.SysAnno.main(SysAnno.java:89)

I'm not quite sure where this originates from, as I am not using such an ecore model. Can you help me?

The project is attached.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hello. Solved the problem myself. I simply rewrote some code for the launcher to load my own metamodel and loaded the RefiningTrace.ecore metamodel myself into the transformation. Not the most beautiful way to do it I guess, but it works.

Greetings, Andreas

Hi Dennis,

In the above programmatic transformation logic, Andreas has made use of the `EMFVMLauncher`. I come across another piece of code (link below) where `org.eclipse.m2m.atl.emftvm.ExecEnv` is used. Out of the two options, which one is recommended?

You should use EMFTVM whenever possible. See also https://wiki.eclipse.org/ATL/VM_Comparison

Depending on the VM, you should use the code template for that VM.

Cheers,
Dennis
