most of the original AndroMDA setup is described on the following
"Getting Started" web page: http://www.andromda.org/starting.html

The use of the model URL is documented on the web page for the
AndroMDA ant task: http://www.andromda.org/anttask.html - however it
should also be documented on the web page for the AndroMDA Maven
plugin: http://www.andromda.org/maven-andromda-plugin/properties.html

Could you file a Jira issue, please, so that this becomes documented
there, too, including some examples, like on the Ant page?

Cheers...
Matthias
