| RE: [modeling-pmc] Re: [emft-dev] Proposal for Texo Component |
I don't know which the presentation modeling framework you are talking about. I have prepared a project named as PMF (presentation modeling framework). But it is NOT an UI-model like XUL, XAML. It is an abstract modeling framework that implements the presentation patterns like data binding, page flows, Master/Detail etc. Each technology like JSF, SWT, GWT then can implement its generator. Please find the draft in the attached file.

On the one hand the artifacts generated are editable using wtp (for example jsp editor, dali project). On the other hand the Texo project does not need to make use of any component currently present in wtp while it uses (and tightly integrates with) emf, mwe, jmerge, teneo and xpand. Also the ideas for a ui-model (the presentation modeling framework) will be used by Texo. In addition it is the idea to make it possible to extend the solution with custom templates/workflows. So as there is a definite and large modeling side to it I would say that it belongs to modeling. gr.
