Henshin is an in-place model transformation language for the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF). It supports direct transformations of EMF model instances (endogenous transformations), as well as generating instances of a target language from given instances of a source language (exogenous transformations). Its main features are:

Basic transformation definition and execution

Rule-based transformation paradigm with units for managing control flow of rules
Graphical and textual syntax, based on a transformation meta-model
Native support for endogenous transformations; support of exogenous transformations via traces
Efficient in-place execution of transformations using a dedicated interpreter with debugging support

Analysis

A performance profiler to identify slow spots
Support for conflict and dependency analysis
State space analysis for verification

Advanced rule definition

Support for rule variants
Support for automated rule generation
Support for generating application conditions from OCL constraints

Integration with other tools

Integration with Xtext
Support for massive parallel rule execution using Apache Giraph
