New OpenSource components for a new year

Since many years, IFPEN (www.ifpen.fr) works with Obeo at the integration of the Eclipse modeling technologies in its Eclipse based scientific software platform.


This collaboration resulted in the creation of some modeling components built on the top of EMF. Since these components are generic and can be used by any EMF models consumers, IFPEN decided to free them.

We created an EclipseLabs project in order to share these components: IFPEN EMP Tooling. 
At the time being, 3 modules are hosted in the project:

• Reverse module: a tool using the JDT to create a Ecore model representing the selected java code
• Filter: a tool allowing to filter a EMF model in order to limit an Acceleo generation
• Cuboid Modeler: a showcase for the EEF project. 

These modules are designed to be easy to use and to provide common needs encountered by many EMF users.

Feel free to use them, improve them or just give us feedback and Happy New Year!.

EEF 1.0 : End of incubation !

Shortly after the 0.9 release, the Extended Editing Framework come in 1.0 version. This is the end of the incubation time for the project !

Between these two releases, we mainly worked on the EMF generation with Acceleo. You will now be able to test it in the 1.0 version.

If you have "EEF EMF Code generation" installed, on a right click on the genmodel, a new "EEF" menu is available. Two actions allow you to generate Edit and Editor code.



This is a first experimental version. Do not hesitate to try it and to report us any problem on this new module.
