Hi,

I am 100% new to EMFT Transactions and basically would like to study
some documentation about basic use cases / the projects documentation...

Nothing obvious regarding these points on the EMFT page,...
>> Where is the best place to look to get an overview?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Michael,

The transaction component is divided into two major layers: EMF
transactions (the ability to manage multiple threads accessing the same
EMF editing domain, live validation of transactions, etc.) and workspace
integration (integrating an EMF editing domain into eclipse's
IUndoableOperation framework for undo/redo).

There are programmer's guides, tutorials and even an unzippable example
available for the two layers. Just install the transaction component
(along with its dependencies) into your eclipse and check out the Help >
Contents for the EMFT Transactions Programmer's Guide and EMFT Workspace
Programmer's Guide.

There is an examples wizard that will unzip an entire example of how to
use the workspace integration layer to transform a standard generated
EMF reflective editor to use the eclipse IUndoableOperations and to use
one editor per resource with a shared editing domain. To access this
example click File > New > Examples... > EMFT Transaction > Workspace
Integration Example. Note that this example is examined in detail in the
Workspace Programmer's Guide's examples section.

I hope this helps,
Chris McGee
