The e4 workbench model is a very highlevel (not only UI) application
model which gets translated at runtime into an UI of the Eclipse IDE/RCP.
The model is so abstract that you can use other UI-Technologies (Swing,
Qt, JavaFX) to render the frameworks UI.

Personally I have a feeling he's just not seeing the answers that are
being posted. After all, he's not acknowledge a single one (nobody?
does imply that doesn't it) and is going about cross posting in yet
more places that are even less likely to produce answers... <br>
<br>
I'm not sure I follow your argument that GMF doesn't help you create a
user interface with the help of a model. GMF does EXAXTLY that from an
Ecore model and various "mapping" models to specify what's in the UI
and how the Ecore model maps to it. PMF does this as well... Even EEF
helps produce nice forms for a model. If Peter is looking for more, he
ought to explain why these all don't fit the bill. Of course he needs
to see the replies to comment on them...<br>

Hi Peter,
I have the feeling that saurav has misunderstood you => You need to be a
bit more specific in what you are looking for.
If I understand you correctly you are NOT looking for a framework to
create graphical MODELLING tools (so GMF and Graphiti will not help you).
Rather, you are looking for tools for model-based user interface
engineering, i.e. the creation of USER INTERFACES with the help of models.
If that is true, you might have better chances looking at (academic?)
papers on the topic. Search for terms like "Model-driven User Interface
Engineering" or similar. Maybe the "MDDAUI" workshop series is interesting.
Best,
Goetz
