CLI Tools

MODRISS includes standalone Java command-line tools for formal MDE tasks. Build a tool with Maven from the repository root using -pl <module> -am package.

Metamodel Compiler

Module: tools/mde-cli

Converts standalone or modular Emfatic metamodels to Ecore.

java -jar tools/mde-cli/target/mde-cli-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar `
  mde/metamodels/cim `
  --root mde/metamodels/cim/cim-root.emf `
  --output mde/metamodels/cim/cim-combined.ecore `
  --overwrite

Important options include --root, --output, --overwrite, --verbose, and --log-file. Conversion failures return exit code 2; unexpected failures return 1.

Validation CLI

Module: tools/mde-evl-cli

Commands:

cim
pim
psm
run for a generic EVL profile

java -jar tools/mde-evl-cli/target/mde-evl-cli-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar pim `
  --repo-root . `
  --model path/to/model.xmi `
  --log-file target/pim-validation-report.json

Transformation CLI

Module: tools/mde-etl-cli

Provides CIM-to-PIM, PIM-to-AWS-PSM, and generic ETL execution using configured source and target models, metamodels, aliases, and entry modules.

java -jar tools/mde-etl-cli/target/mde-etl-cli-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar cim-to-pim `
  --repo-root . `
  --source-model input-cim.xmi `
  --target-model output-pim.xmi `
  --overwrite

Generation CLI

Module: tools/mde-m2t-cli

java -jar tools/mde-m2t-cli/target/mde-m2t-cli-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar aws-psm-to-artifacts `
  --repo-root . `
  --source-model input-aws-psm.xmi `
  --output-dir generated-project `
  --log-file target/generation-report.json `
  --verbose

The underlying runner packages are independent of Picocli and can also be embedded directly into Java services and tests.

Notation Migration

Module: tools/notation-migrate

Migrates legacy *-ui-metadata.json files to Concrete Visual Syntax (CVS) v2 JSON:

npm run migrate:all -w @modriss/notation-migrate

The CVS formalism and migration workflow are maintained in the repository's internal document docs/internal/mde/concrete-visual-syntax-v2.md, outside the published MkDocs tree.
