+ | ====== EMF as a model description language ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | As described below, the model used by the Visual Editor Project is | ||
+ | based on its own language and widget-set neutral metadata format. As | ||
+ | it turns out, this model itself is described using Eclipse's own EMF framework. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Advantages to doing it this way include: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * EMF is language and widget-set neutral. | ||
+ | * It is easy to reflect the metadata provided by the Java | ||
+ | Development Tooling as an EMF model. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Questions I currently have about this: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * What are the parts of the model? | ||
+ | * What are the sources/sinks of information in this model? | ||
+ | * How does one actually work with information in this model? | ||
+ | |||
+ | In future entries, I intend to explore these and other topics | ||
+ | relevent to VEP programming. | ||
