EMF: Beyond the Basics
Abstract
The Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) is a popular choice in the backend of many tools based on Eclipse.
This talk will deal with advanced features of EMF, such as lazy− loading and unloading strategies, fragment and resource URIs, transactions, cross−references etc. Understanding these concepts is the key to building responsive and scalable tools.
