Before evaluating different MDA tools, read an article about how to categorize them according to the needs:

The IBM Model Transformation Framework (MTF) It is an EMF based model transformation framework , for now available at alphaWorks. It provides a declarative means of specifying metamodel relationships, similar to that of QVT relations.
