Xtext makes it easy to create domain specific languages (DSL). Xtext 2.0 adds some critical features that allow developers to create robust and flexible DSL. This webinar will highlight the new features in Xtext 2.0 including the new Xtend template language, the ability to embed expressions into your DSL and a new refactoring framework.

If you are already using Xtext or interested in creating DSL's then plan to attend this webinar.

It is a known fact that embedded system complexity doesn't stop increasing and model-driven software development turns more and more out to be an adequate approach to keeping this complexity under control. But it is still a major hassle to provide corresponding integrated tool environments which are sufficiently domain-oriented, scalable and robust. Eclipse as an open and extensible tool platform is a very good starting point but not a solution per se. The Eclipse Modeling Project provides many of the additionally required building blocks but is very fragmented and not up to the point where it could provide the level of tool support embedded system designers expect.

The recently created Sphinx project is meant to significantly improve this situation. It will be seeded with code from Artop – a platform for creating modeling tools supporting the AUTOSAR standard which has already been deployed at several larger automotive companies. Complementary building blocks will come from the Papyrus project. Sphinx will provide a modeling tool platform enabling IDE-like tool support for specific modeling languages to be developed at reasonable effort and cost. It will leverage and foster the industrial strength known from Artop and head towards a domain- and vendor-independent interoperability layer (backbone) for modeling tools of any kind.

Total running time will be approximately 1 hour

The Eclipse Modeling Project is one of the most active projects within the Eclipse community. Ed Merks will give a quick overview of the Modeling projects in Helios. Then Cedric Brun will demo Acceleo and Sebastian Zarnekow will show Xtext.

This presentation was recorded as part of the Helios In Action virtual conference.

The Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) has long provided a code generation facility capable of emitting everything needed to get started with building a complete application for EMF-based domain models. It includes a GUI from which options can be specified and code generators can be invoked, to produce a model API, edit support, unit tests and a sample editor.

With the Helios release of Eclipse, this facility moves beyond the boundaries of the Eclipse platform, and desktop applications in general, by adding support for the Rich Ajax Platform (RAP) and Google Web Toolkit (GWT). This session will demonstrate EMF's support for these application runtime platforms and highlight differences in the code generated for each.
