To get some hands-on experience with iQgen we recommend to run the tutorial that comes with the iQgen distribution. You will find the templates in the directory samples/getting_started/tutorial_1/templates and the XML models in XMI format in directory samples/getting_started/tutorial_1/model.
The UML profile for Tutorial 1 is extremely simple - essentially, it doesn't use any stereotypes or tagged values at all.
Tutorial 1 uses the model depicted in the figure below. It will not result in a complete application, but in the end you will have source code which can be compiled and you will have obtained a deeper knowledge of how to develop templates.
To give you an overview of the templates in Tutorial 1, here's an overview table with some short comments.
