Description Richard Gronback CLA 2005-10-28 15:17:06 EDT 
A graphical surface for mapping definitions should be provided, preferably 
bootstrapped using GMF itself.
Comment 1 Richard Gronback CLA 2006-03-02 08:39:22 EST 
Given our current understanding of what the mapping model contains, and what we are able to produce given our current bootstrapping capabilities, this feature will need to be shifted to a later date.

A brief discussion of what this will look like with the tooling team revealed that we need to solicit feedback from the community on what UI would be most appropriate for this model.  The mapping UI provided by EMF (and used by Merlin) is not the most intuitive, while a standard block and line UI will not scale well.

Another option would be to have a multi-page editor and the capability to edit the mapping model and its associated graphical, tooling, and even domain models simultaneously.

Feedback and voting on this item is requested.

Version/Milestone updated
Comment 3 Nicolas Cabanis CLA 2006-06-15 03:43:26 EDT 
As alternative of this, I propose a textual editor for the mapping definition.
