Epsilon Object Language
EOL syntax updates:
This article summarizes the changes introduced in 0.8.7 and 0.8.8 in the EOL concrete syntax.
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.
Epsilon Validation Language
EVL-GMF Integration:
This article demonstrates evaluating EVL constraints from within a GMF-based editor.
Epsilon Generation Language
Using template operations in EGL:
This article demonstrates template operations for writing re-usable code in EGL (the model-to-text language of Epsilon).
EGL as a server-side language:
This article demonstrates using EGL (the model-to-text language of Epsilon) in Tomcat to produce HTML pages from EMF models on the fly.
Epsilon and EMF
Emfatic language reference:
Emfatic is a language designed to represent EMF Ecore models in a textual form. This article details the syntax of Emfatic and the mapping between Emfatic declarations and the corresponding Ecore constructs.
Reflective EMF tutorial:
This tutorial demonstrates how to create an EMF Ecore metamodel and a sample model that conforms to it reflectively (i.e. without generating any code).
The EMF EPackage Registry View:
This article demonstrates the EPackage Registry view which allows developers to inspect the contents of the registered EMF EPackages.
Scripting XML documents using Epsilon:
In this article we demonstrate how you can create, query and modify plain standalone XML documents (i.e. no XSD/DTD needed) in Epsilon programs using the PlainXML driver.
Scripting BibTeX files using Epsilon:
In this article we demonstrate how you can query a list of references stored in BibTeX files with Epsilon programs using the BibTeX driver.
EuGENia
EuGENia GMF Tutorial:
This article provides a guide to using EuGENia for developing GMF editors, as well as its complete list of features and supported annotations.
EuGENia: Nodes with images instead of shapes:
This article shows how to create nodes in your GMF editor that are represented with images (png, jpg etc.) instead of the standard GMF shapes (rectangle, ellipse etc.)
EuGENia: Nodes with a centred layout:
This article shows how to create nodes in your GMF editor whose contents are centred both vertically and horizontally.
EuGENia: Automated Invocation with Ant:
This article demonstrates how to run Eugenia from Ant, and some of the additional features offered through the Ant task.
MDE Exercises:
This article provides a number of exercises which enable you to test your knowledge on MDE, EMF and Epsilon.
Release Notes
New and Noteworthy in Epsilon v0.9.1:
Epsilon v0.9.1 included several major improvements to EUnit, Flock and the Epsilon development tools, as well as significant enhancements for EOL, EGL and EuGENia. This article provides a summary of the changes in Epsilon v0.9.1.
Technical Support
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.
