Enhance the XText integration of Umple

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Currently an XText grammar is maintained that drives display and editing in the 
XText Ecliipse plugin. This project would consist of the following:

1. Write a translator that would automatically translate the main Umple grammar 
into XText, so that any changes to the main grammar would be reflected in 
XText. It may be necessary to develop annotations to the main grammar (e.g. 
specific elements in comments) that would allow complete context to be possble 
in the XText grammar.

2. Thoroughly test and debug the XText Eclipse plugin so it becomes more usable.
