(I CB> don't really like the idea of introducing a new property type in CB> the andromda configuration). just got a new idea: We could throw away the config metamodel and write a new class that adapts Namespaces and Mappings to ASMModel: public class ConfigModel extends ASMModel { ... } That way, ATL would believe it accesses a model but in reality the namespace properties or mappings would be accessed. This would make eager loading un-necessary.
Great idea! I like that much better.
