[news.eclipse.tools.gef] [ANN] : Plugin for generating a GEF Editor from

[jcheuoua@xxxxxxxxxx (Joël Cheuoua)]

Hi GEF-ers,

I posted an announcement two days ago on the alpha release of a plugin 
called Merlin that is mostly an EMF model transformation & code generation 
plugin.

I thought it would also be interesting for you guys that I post this 
announcement here, as this new release contains a feature that allows 
generating a ready-to-use GEF Editor Plugin from an EMF model in a few 
clicks.

I started this feature a few month ago as a little example for the model 
transformation & code generation capabilities of the Merlin's plug-in, and 
it has taken another dimension thanks to the "ediagram" sample 
(outstanding thing GEF folk ;)) that gave me more ideas for achieving 
something really generic and basically usefull for any kind of models.

The result is something that may fulfill the need of getting started 
quickly in building a GEF Editor that works, and customize the generated 
code for doing more fancier things. It's a lot quite what the newly 
proposed GMF project intend to adress ...

Please feel free to download it and to give me your feedback :

on sourceforge : http://sourceforge.net/projects/merlingenerator/

Minimal configuration required for this plug-in : 

Eclipse 3.1.0 M5a 
GEF 3.1M5
EMF 2.1.0 build I200503100800 
UML2 1.1M3

Cheers.
