Thank you for your answer. I subscribed myself to the pmf-dev mailinglist.

Thanks. I have some additional questions:
Is it planned to provide a graphical editor to create PMF models?
Another question is about the textual representation of the PMF models. Textual models have some advantages, for example they are simple to diff and better suited for teamwork. If I think about WPF, it provides a graphical editor to create the user interface and generates as result of the modeling process a XAML file. Additionally, there are already some textual DSLs for similar (specific) purposes:
- OASIS User Interface Markup Language (UIML)
- WebDSL (http://webdsl.org/webdslorg/home)
- WebML (http://www.webml.org/webml/page1.do)
- USIXMML (http://www.usixml.org/index.php?mod=pages&id=2)
- ...
Is it planned to provide a textual DSL for PMF?
Regars,

Hello Ilyas,
> Is it planned to provide a graphical editor to create PMF models?
Yes, but we will start out by using an EMF-based tree-type editor.
> Is it planned to provide a textual DSL for PMF?
Yes, that is also a goal, but not for the first release.
I know of a couple of efforts providing textual editors in the UI
modeling world (WebDSL is from 'my' university) and am actually involved
with one of these at mod4J. I try to keep in touch with some of the UI
modeling projects so we can either join forces or at least learn from
each other.
We plan to have a few different target environments to demonstrate the
capabilities (e4, EMF-live-model, JFace), but I expect us to start
simple at the editor part and first have the full chain up and running.
Regards,
Jim
