With the increasing popularity of Domain Specific Languages (DSLs), the need for quality tooling in the form of “language workbenches” and graphical editors will be critical to their success. The Eclipse Modeling Project (EMP) includes the necessary components for abstract and graphical syntax development, model transformation and code generation; that is, all you need for a DSL Toolkit in Eclipse. This presentation will illustrate the capabilities of the Eclipse Modeling Project to develop a DSL and associated generators for use in a model-driven software development (MDSD) scenario. Specifically, the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF), Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF), Model-to-Model Transformation (M2M:QVT OML) and Model-to-Text (M2T:Xpand) Transformation projects will be demonstrated in the context of a real-world DSL toolkit.
