Eclipse Modeling (GEF, EMF, GMF)
Abstract
In course of the Eclipse Training Series we offer a 5 days training for GEF, EMF and GMF.
You will receive a complete overview and learn about the concepts of EMF and the steps taken from model to code generation. The construction and use of domain-specific languages (DSL) is presented to you as well as the use of the Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF) for the construction of specific editors.
In several successive, constructive exercises the workshop participants develop a DSL with a complete editor through practical exercises.
Thereby you learn how the principles of model-based software development (MDSD) are used with GMF.
The limitations of this generative approach as well as the expansion capabilities of the editors are also the subject of the workshop.
