Dear Benjamin.
I am helping to manage the GMF Tooling project. I cc two people in
your company that know me, and who work on related topics.
First of all, I'd like to draw your attention to the fact that GMF
Tooling is going to support the Graphiti runtime as well, so it
will be possible to generate a Graphiti based block-diagram editor
with GMF Tooling. It would as well be possible to generate the other
kind of UML diagrams. We could organize a student team, that does
this, but we would need to enter the proposal within two weeks.
I propose this, because on your page it tells:
- TAM is a pragmatic
combination of FMC and UML based on modeling best practices at
SAP, defining a reasonable subset of diagram types and elements.
- On conceptual
level, TAM is FMC with (partly) UML notation.
Thus if you want to have an editor just for a subset of UML and
partial UML notation, you need to regenerate the UML diagram types..
If you reuse the Papyrus diagram editors, maybe you want to generate
a block diagram editor as well for the GMF Runtime (as the Papyrus
editors). Of course this is the more stable functionality of GMF
Tooling. We recently started to integrate the SimpleMap technology
into GMF Tooling, so you may do it by simple specifying the Block
diagram editor in SimpleMap, a graphical editor to define graphical
editors. This would be the fastest, but least proven way.
I CC Sebasien and Michael, the component leads of Papyrus and GMF
tooling. Tomorrow there is a workshop in Prague between the Papyrus
and GMF Tooling teams, so if you want more feedbacks, the two of
them could discuss it tomorrow. Maybe you brought an interesting
topic to their attention: combinability between Papyrus editors and
Graphiti based editors. Maybe the GMF tooling generator for Graphiti
could take this into consideration...
Regarding your question where to add the project, the PMC has to
answer. Our team in Prag, doing the GMF Tooling project is certainly
happy to be helpful, independent of the runtime technology you
choose.
Regards, Philipp

Dear Modeling PMC,
I've sent a new project proposal to the EMO which is strongly related to the Eclipse Modeling Project. This proposal is about technical architecture modeling (TAM) which is the standard for modeling and describing technical architecture at SAP (please refer to: http://www.fmc-modeling.org/fmc-and-tam). It is a combination of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Fundamental Modeling Concepts (FMC). This pragmatic combination resulted from modeling best practices at SAP defining a subset of diagram types and elements of both standards. TAM uses subsets of UML Activity, State and Sequence diagrams to model behavioral aspects, Class Diagrams to model data structures and relations and FMC Block diagrams for compositional structures. In this proposed project a FMC Block diagram editor based on Eclipse Graphiti is planned to be developed, whereas the UML diagram types should be taken from Papyrus UML.
Hence, I proposed the EMO to make the TAM project a subproject of MDT. However, the MDT project seems to be eliminated in the future. This is why the EMO proposed to make the project a subproject of the Eclipse Modeling Project. Hence, I contacted you. What do you think? I am also looking for potential mentors for this project.
Best regards,
Benjamin
