Implementing Tag-Driven Transformers with Tango

Using explicit tags at the programming language level has been attracting a lot of attention recently with technologies like xDoclet [41] which automates EJB [30] related tasks, and .NET attributes [21] which are a vital part of the .NET framework [34]. However there are currently no systematic ways for adding and transforming tag-driven product line specific constructs. This results often in implementations which are not very modular and hence that are difficult to reuse.
