Eclipse Development Using the Graphical Editing Framework And the Eclipse Modeling Framework

Description : Eclipse Development using the Graphical Editing Framework and the Eclipse Modelling Framework is written for developers who use the Eclipse SDK to develop plug-in code. This IBM Redbook is intended for a technical readership and for developers who already have good knowledge and experience in Eclipse plug-in development. In this book, we examine two frameworks that are developed by the Eclipse Tools Project for use with the Eclipse Platform: the Graphical Editing Framework (GEF), and the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF). We cover both the Graphical Editing Framework and the Eclipse Modeling Framework, but these frameworks can be used separately, and there is no dependency between them. This book provides a high level introduction to these frameworks so that Eclipse plug-in developers can consider whether the frameworks will be useful for the requirements of their particular development environment. Next, tips and techniques are provided for writing code that uses GEF and EMF. Also, a detailed example is developed to illustrate a GEF editor that uses an EMF model.
