Dear
Bernd,
as a project lead of an Eclipse project I've read that
you are proposing a new sub-project of EMFT called MWE (the Modeling Workflow
Engine), where you want to model the workflow required for the orchestration of
the model processing chain to optimize model transformation and code
generation.
In our project, the Java Workflow Tooling (JWT, [1])
project we are aiming at a very similar goal: the modeling of workflows and
their execution in workflow engines. Therefore, we already have a modeling tool
[2] and a framework underneath for the collaboration with the process engine,
which will be uploaded to Eclipse in the next months.
Do you already have a modeling tool which you will
contribute to MWE? Otherwise you might find our project interesting and maybe
could use our tool or the two projects might work together in another
way?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Florian
EMFT - new MWE component
The
Eclipse Modeling Project contains several components for working with models in
the context of model-driven development. All of these components are essential
for a practical MDD tool chain. What is missing, however, is something that
binds these tools together. Specifically, a component is required that can be
used to orchestrate a model processing chain. The Modeling Workflow Engine will
provide an extensible framework to describe and execute this processing chain
called workflow.
The whole proposal can be found at http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/emft-dev/pdfyXXaG0L5Hz.pdf.
