Hello,

I've been googling, and going through tutorials and the documentation, and forum, but I've found nothing about this yet.

I'd like to create an Eclipse RCP application based on EMF and Sirius. The basic functionality is pretty simple, so going with an IDE would be confusing for the users. Expecially the concept of separating model and representations, while it's useful for us programmers, for the people working on a simple DSL it's an overcomplication.

The EMF has this awesome feature where with a flag it will generate a product template instead of a plugin (EMF goes RCP: www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-EMF-goes-RCP/rcp.html). I'd think about something similar, but with a Sirius editor instead (or along) the EMF one, and work our way up from there (adding necessary features). Opening files from filesystem is pretty nice here, as our use case is that simple, and even a Project Explorer would be an overcomplication.

To my understanding, simplifing thing that much would be difficult. I'd prefer not to put my hands on the fine inner workings of the framework.

Obviously RCP apps based on Sirius are possible, as illustrated on the Gallery (www.eclipse.org/sirius/gallery.html), but I haven't found a source of knowledge about this.

So my questions are, how difficult would that be? Is it doable for one person? Or should I settle for a base IDE with Modelling Projects?


Thanks a lot in advance.
I'd be willing to contribute a tutorial about this if I can wrap my head around it.

You can have a look to the Arduino Designer (RCP based on Sirius) for
example. The source code is available here [1].

It's difficult to answer to these questions without knowing your
knowledge about Eclipse, EMF, ...

Thank you very much, that is probably exactly what I need to get this going.

Thanks again.
