[o:XML] SrcML to MLML transformation

[Martin Klang]

I've just created a very simple, partial, SrcML->MLML transformation 
stylesheet.
It doesn't yet translate function bodies - ie statements and 
expressions. However it seems to do a decent job with classes, fields 
and methods.

So thanks to the brilliant work done by Frank et al, it is now possible 
to generate MLML from Java using the SrcML Java parser.

Even though only class stubs come through, this is already quite 
useful. With the existing MLML stylesheets, you can:

- Generate HTML and DocBook documentation from Java
and
- Produce UML diagrams (XMI 1.2) - Java reverse-engineering!

An MLML->SrcML transformation would automatically give us UML->Java, 
which is also pretty nice.

The stylesheets are available in a new MLML CVS module [1] together 
with some other stuff. I should be making regular updates to this in 
the near future.
