AFAIK, Together Architect 2006 is not final yet... Therefore maybe
they haven't delivered ready-to-use transformation definitions?

AndroMDA (http://www.andromda.org) is a very good Open Source MDA
product which delivers a lot of ready-to-use cartridges
(transformation definitions in term of AndroMDA) like Spring,
Hibernate, NHibernate, EJB, Struts, JSF, Web Service, etc.. AndroMDA
has a very healthy community - no one man show! Just check their
homepage by yourself.

We (EJOSA - Enterprise Java Open Source Architecture -
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ejosa) integrated AndroMDA and other
Open Source software to make the use of these technologies a lot more
easier, since they are all pre-integrated and ready to use. We added
some cartridges for AndroMDA (Use Case Points (UCP) Based Estimation,
Enhydra XMLC, etc.). To see how AndroMDA can work very well with
source-code centric development within EJOSA, you can read these
article series:
http://www.jaxmagazine.com/itr/news/psecom,id,21908,nodeid,146.html

A very easy to follow intro for Spring cartridge:
http://www.andromda.org/andromda-spring-cartridge/howto1.html

As you can see AndroMDA only supports model-text/model-code
transformations at the moment. But in the mean time Matthias from
AndroMDA team is working on the integration of ATL (model-model,
hybrid) transformation tool into AndroMDA (check out their discussion
forum). I myself integrate MTL (model-model, imperative). You already
can see the example for MTL in EJOSA CVS:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/ejosa/ejosa-revo/dev-cartridges/cartridges\
/ejosa-model-dsl-piggybank/src/PiggyBankDslTransformation/

So I hope to see model-model transformations also available soon in
AndroMDA by reusing other Open Source products like ATL and MTL.

Hope this helps.
Lofi.
