Compared to UML-based modeling, domain-specific languages (DSL) offer many advantages such as simplified tooling and lower costs. When migrating existing UML models to DSLs, however, it is difficult to guarantee that the same source code is generated afterwards. Due to the fact that existing UML models and the former generated source code may already be inconsistent. To cope with these inconsistencies the paper reports on a UML-agnostic migration approach based on the existing source code. The paper elaborates on the concept, the tool-chain and the test environment of the introduced approach.
