EMF: Eclipse Modeling Framework, 2e

by Dave Steinberg, Frank Budinsky, Marcelo Paternostro

Description The Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) is a framework and codegeneration facility that lets you define a model in any of theseforms--Java interfaces, UML diagram, or XML Schema. EMF doesn'trequire a completely different methodology or any sophisticatedmodeling tools. All you need to get started with EMF are theEclipse Java Development Tools. EMF relates modeling conceptsdirectly to their implementations, thereby bringing to Eclipse-andJava developers in general-the benefits of modeling with a low costof entry. Unlike most tools of this type, EMF is truly integratedwith and tuned for efficient programming. It answers theoften-asked question, "Should I model or should I program?" with aresounding, "Both." This book, written by the lead architects ofEMF, provides both an introduction and tutorial to how to leverageand work with this powerful framework.
