Hi Everyone,
I would like to model several non XML artifacts such as Java code, Property
Files etc in EMF. Is creating new subclasses of ResourceImpl resources an
effective and recommended way for marshalling and unmarshalling these
artifacts to EMF models ? Particularly for Java code, I understand that
JMerge is an already existing plugin that lets you *generate* java code from
EMF models, however what I have in mind is a, lets say JavaResourceIml that
upon load gives me an AST (or some higher level abstraction of the code like
JavaModel) modeled in EMF. My other question is if an EMF representation of
AST already exists.
Lots of Thanks
Ali

There is an example Java model already available in the example zip file
of each our download.

Definitely. Specializing doSave/doLoad is all that's needed.

Yes, but it's just an example and it's not up-to-date with Java 5.0. An
EMF model that wraps JDT's AST would be a cool project (but also a large
one).
