This plugin is +used to convert old style configuration structure to Configuration project. The plugin +can be used to create files and folders. For a folder you can define using absolute paths +or wildcards which files from previous structure are copied to the new structure. For files +it is possible just to copy a file from one location to another, create layer and configuration +root files. For these more complex type of files you can select which files are included using +absolute path or wildcards. + + +Configuring +'''''''''''' +Plugin is configured by modifying .convertprojectml file that must be located in some layer's implml folder +that is included in generated configuration. Typical case is that the plugin is used in products that don't +have configuration project and layers. In that case refer to Installation/Running part. + +Convert Project ML format +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ++------------------+-----------------+----------------+-------------------------------+ +| Elements | Attributes | Content model | Description | ++==================+=================+================+===============================+ +| convertprojectml | xmlns |targetProject | Collective/Top-most element | +| | |layer* | defines the namespace used | +| | |foreach* | in the file. | ++------------------+-----------------+----------------+-------------------------------+ +| targetProject | path | | Defines output path.
