diagrams

Graphical views can be an efficient means to facilitate the understanding of complex networks (dependencies, relationships, connections, etc.). It’s relatively easy to set up a pipeline to generate a graphical view from your model or data source. But quite often such a generated view ends up in an illegible mess: connections running criss-cross, no idea where to start looking, and bad responsiveness of the application.

The great Eclipse Papyrus migration, from GMF and XWT to Sirius and EEF

Vincent Lorenzo (CEA LIST)

Patrick Tessier (CEA LIST)

Eclipse Papyrus is an opensource Eclipse based UML modeler for research and industrial uses.

This modeler is currently using GMF based diagrams and associated XWT based property views used to edit the models; and for the last year, Papyrus has been moving to Sirius based diagrams and EEF property Views.

In this talk, we will adress the problems linked to the previous framework and how we proceeded to fix them using Sirius diagrams and EEF property Views.

We will present you the current state of the migration and the differences with the previous version.

Diagram Editors Boosted: Collaborative, Testable and Accessible diagrams with Eclipse GLSP

Philip Langer (EclipseSource)

Dominik Bork (TU Wien)

Do plain old diagram editors that are cumbersome to develop, hard to test and clumsy to use put you off? Us too! With Eclipse GLSP, however, such editors belong to the past. Join us for a talk on the recent innovations from the community in the Eclipse GLSP universe and learn how to build modern web-based diagram editors for your tools with ease!

Alongside other great additions to the recent GLSP 2.0 release, we will in particular explore three key areas of innovation:

Diagram Editors with GLSP: Why flexibility is key

Philip Langer (EclipseSource)

Are you wondering how you should nowadays develop diagram editors to be durable, given the innovative and fast moving world of web-based technologies and cloud IDEs? The answer is clear: build them to be open for adaptation from top to bottom and make it easy to change certain parts without impacting all other parts. Join this talk to learn how to build diagram editors which are loosely coupled and how to stay agile to adapt and benefit from the innovations of the new age of tool development.

Diagram editors with Eclipse GLSP - 1.0

Philip Langer (EclipseSource)

The Eclipse Graphical Language Server Platform (GLSP) is an open source technology to efficiently create diagram editors for web-based tools such as Eclipse Theia or VS Code. It works similar to the language server protocol and can replace technologies such as GEF or GMF when migrating your toolchain to the web/cloud.

Lucky in the Cloud With Diagrams

Jan Koehnlein (TypeFox GmbH)

Miro Spönemann (TypeFox GmbH)

Sprotty is a new Eclipse Project that makes it easy to add modern, live, CSS styled, animated diagrams to web-based applications. Supporting both, client only and client/server runtime scenarios, it provides the perfect graphical complement to the popular Language Server Protocol.

In this talk you will learn how to use Sprotty to embed live graphs in web apps. We’ll explain the architectural concepts and guide you through the necessary steps to visualize your own models in the cloud.
