MDWorkbench Pro (Model-Driven Workbench) is a powerful Eclipse-based IDE for code generation and model transformation, devoted to implement Model-Driven strategies. Any kind of metamodel may be processed (not only UML). Code generators are text template-based and can be built for any target architecture or framework. Transformations are rule-based and are performed from any number of source models into any number of target models, or may modify the source model only. Text templates and rules constructs can be combined transparently in the environment to allow intuitive and efficient processing of any model. MDWorkbench also exists is two other editions : Free and Academic. More info may be found at www.mdworkbench.com.
