Hi,

Does that part of the proposal have to do with "Support for development of
(Custom) Language Tooling" ?

An EclipseCON BOF about that was
http://www.eclipse.org/newsportal/article.php?id=20&grou p=eclipse.eclipsecon

Then I also remember the project proposal Language Engineering Toolkit,
nothing happened.

What's new this time ? :)

regards,

Miguel Garcia

Hi,

Textual Model Notation is about providing textual means to edit your
models (as opposed to visual diagram or tree-style editing). Yet another
syntax.

In that sense it definitely benefits from rich language tooling
capabilities provided by the platform (if any :), and efforts put forth
improving language support in Eclipse will eventually get reflected in the
textual model editing.

If platform chooses not to improve/expose language tooling it has, it just
means (in scope of this Modeling top-level project) poor editing
capabilities of that textual model editors. Modeling project doesn't aim to
provide any kind of general language editing framework, it's just an
ordinary client of such framework.

Best wishes,
Artem Tikhomirov
