Re: [jwt-dev] Does EMF Facets have anything to do with JWT Views ?

Hi Marc,

as I understood the proposal, it seems to be kind of a mixture between our aspects feature (1) and custom views on models which would be in my opinion much like views in (relational) databases, i.e. a query on the model which yields a new model. But of course I also might have gotten it wrong. Would be an interesting solution to our use case but I fear incompatible with our current implementation of aspects and creating views by modifying childsets and editparts.

Regards,
Chris

1) Extending an existing metamodel (Ecore model) in a non-intrusive way by adding new types, attributes, operations and relations. New relations could be used to compose several models by linking their elements. 2) Computing an extension by executing queries against an existing model; queries will be implemented by making use of existing query mechanisms (e.g. considering Java, ATL, EMFQuery, Xpath, etc);

Hi Chris, all

Looking at EMF Facets' outline, it seems like it'd have the same goals
as JWT Views.

Maybe we should have a closer look to see if it's really the case, and
why not put a message on their mailing list to see whether we could help
each other ?

Regards,
Marc
