In Kermeta, you can view its metamodel by several ways.
First, the ecore file kermeta_java.ecore is available in the lib folder of Kermeta main plugin.It is used when saving a Kermeta program in XMI ("Compile to XMI" function on *.kmt files). You can then load Kermeta program as a model, typically to transform it.

You should not try to execute operations on Kermeta models you've just dynamically created unless you froze it. This is a feature which has not been completly tested. |
Another typical way to access to a Kermeta model and Kermeta
metamodel is to use the reflection.
All objects inherits from Object
that defines the
getMetaClass
operation. This use is
used in one of the samples of
Section 2.20, “
Dynamic evaluation of
Kermeta expressions
”
(when it selects an
operation to be executed).
At last, the parse method on dynamic expression presented in section Dynamic evaluation of Kermeta expressions can give you some way to access a Kermeta model as it parses a Kermeta text and provides the corresponding model.
