MetaH Generation

The MetaH Generation plug-in generates a textual MetaH model from an AADL object model. The generator is currently limited to non-modal AADL models.
The AADL to MetaH translator can be invoked on any object.  However, if the generation of an “application” statement is desired, it should be invoked on a system implementation that contains two subcomponents, the first representing the application software and the second representing the execution platform. 

The MetaH translator

• translates data component declarations into MetaH port types
• generates with declaration to port types as appropriate
• generates the declarations in an order such that any component is declared before it is used
• generates connections for port groups by unfolding them into individual port connections, since MetaH does not support the concept of port group
• translates system declarations into MetaH macro or system declarations according to whether they represent they application or execution platform hierarchy. AADL properties are translated into MetaH properties, if such a mapping exists. (MetaH properties that do not exist in AADL can be introduced into the AADL model through a property set called MetaH.)
