Hi Rahul,
I went back to the archives and I am just wondering if
you found out if the plugin to convert from "EMF model
for the statechart diagram" to "its SCXML document
serialization" is going to be available for free?

Last I heard [1], but it will take time (few months, my speculation).


On the other hand it is clear that we need something
like:

UML <=A=> XMI <=B=> SCXML

where A=Graphical UML tool (Rational Modeler for
example)
and   B=XSLT

The whole functionality could be accomplished thru a
plugin made for Rational Modeler and the main task is
just to write the XSLT part.

You got the plugin part right, but it should be a first-class
transformation plugin (each set of tooling has their own APIs,
Rational has a transformation API that is useful here). XSLT is going
to be fragile (not to mention tricky to begin with -- have you seen
the raw XMI ;-)


Of course if the plugin has already be developed
applying DRY we should just get is, use it and extend
it if necessary (SCXML is still a Draft so some
extensions will be necessary).

Agreed.
