Visual Editor Project 1.1


Download VE 1.1

New and Noteworthy


VE Home

The Eclipse Visual Editor project is a framework for creating GUI builders for Eclipse. It will include reference implementations of Swing/JFC and SWT GUI builders, but intends to be useful for creating GUI builders for other languages such as C/C++ and alternate widget sets, including those that are not supported under Java.

Eclipse Modeling Framework 2.1


Download EMF 2.1

What's New

EMF Home

EMF is a modeling framework and code generation facility for building tools and other applications based on a structured data model. From a model specification described in XMI, EMF provides tools and runtime support to produce a set of Java classes for the model, a set of adapter classes that enable viewing and command-based editing of the model, and a basic editor.

EMF includes the XML Schema Infoset Model (XSD) project and an EMF-based implementation of Service Data Objects (SDO).

XSD is a library that provides an API for manipulating the components of an XML Schema, as well as an API for manipulating the DOM-accessible representation of XML Schema as a series of XML documents, and for keeping these representations in agreement as schemas are modified.

Service Data Objects (SDO) is a framework that simplifies and unifies data application development in a service oriented architecture (SOA). It supports and integrates XML and incorporates J2EE patterns and best practices.


Graphical Editing Framework 3.1


Download GEF 3.1

GEF Home

The Graphical Editor Framework (GEF) allows developers to take an existing application model and easily create a rich graphical editor. The graphical environment is the SWT-based drawing plugin "draw2d" (which is part of the overall "GEF" component). GEF is suitable for creating a wide variety of applications, including: flow builders, GUI builders, UML diagram editors (such as work-flow and class modeling diagrams), and even WYSIWYG text editors like HTML.


 

UML2 1.1


Download UML2 1.1

Release Notes

UML2 Home

The UML2 project is an EMF-based implementation of the UML 2.0 metamodel for the Eclipse platform designed to support the development of modeling tools. Further objectives of the UML2 project are to provide a common XMI schema to facilitate interchange of semantic models, test cases as a means of validating the specification, and validation rules as a means of defining and enforcing levels of compliance. For more details see Getting Started with UML2.


 

AspectJ 5.0


Download available soon!

AspectJ Home

AspectJ is a seamless aspect-oriented language extension to Java. It can be used to cleanly modularize the crosscutting structure of concerns such as exception handling, multi-object protocols, synchronization, performance optimizations, and resource sharing. When implemented in a non-aspect-oriented fashion, the code for these concerns typically becomes spread out across entire programs. AspectJ controls such code-tangling and makes the underlying concerns more apparent, making programs easier to develop and maintain. The project goal is to support the AspectJ compiler and core tools.


 

Eclipse Communication
Framework 0.3.3


Download ECF 0.3.3!

ECF Home

The Eclipse Communication Framework (ECF) is a project to enable the creation of communications applications on the Eclipse Platform. The framework provides APIs for secure asynchronous and synchronous messaging to deliver human-to-human, human-to-plugin, and plugin-to-plugin communications and collaboration.
