This page links to more than 80 articles on various aspects of Epsilon. Should you find that an article is outdated, please let us know.

Epsilon Object Language

  • EOL syntax updates: This article summarizes changes in the EOL concrete syntax over time.
  • Extended Properties: This article demonstrates the extended properties mechanism in EOL (and by inheritance, in all languages in Epsilon).
  • Call Java from Epsilon: This article demonstrates how to create Java objects, access their properties and call their methods from Epsilon languages.
  • Running Epsilon from Java: This article demonstrates how to parse and execute Epsilon programs and load models from headless Java applications.
  • Call Java functional interfaces from Epsilon: This article demonstrates how to call native methods which take functions as their parameter, using lambdas and streams directly from Epsilon using EOL syntax.
  • Profiling Epsilon Programs: This article demonstrates how to profile Epsilon programs using the platform's built-in profiling tools.
  • EOL Interpreter View: This article demonstrates an Eclipse view for running EOL scripts against selected model elements in EMF-based editors.
  • Epsilon Debugger: Demonstrates how to use the Eclipse-based step-by-step debugging support in the Epsilon languages.

Epsilon Validation Language

  • EVL-GMF Integration: This article demonstrates evaluating EVL constraints from within a GMF-based editor.
  • EVL-EMF Validation Integration: This article demonstrates contributing EVL constraints to EMF's validation framework.
  • Parallel Execution: This article explains how to use the parallel module implementations for EOL and rule-based languages like EVL.

Development Environments

  • VS Code: This article provides an overview of how you can edit and run Epsilon programs in the VS Code IDE.
  • Sublime: This repository provides a package that adds Epsilon syntax highlighting capabilities to the Sublime editor.

Human-Usable Textual Notation

Teaching Material

  • MDE Exercises: This article provides a number of exercises which enable you to test your knowledge on MDE, EMF and Epsilon.
  • Epsilon Playground: The Epsilon Playground is a web application for fiddling with metamodelling, modelling and automated model management using Emfatic, Flexmi and Epsilon's languages.

Technical Support

  • Troubleshooting: A list of common issues that (particularly new) users of Epsilon tend to run into.
  • Constructing a helpful minimal example: From time to time, you may run into a problem when using Epsilon or find a bug. This article describes how to construct a minimal example that we can use to reproduce the problem on our machine.
