This is a first post to announce a new project of mine. It is called – as you may guess – “emf.observables”, is an extension to the famous Eclipse Modeling Framework and comes as a set of plugins for Eclipse.
emf.observables allows you to use a in emf modeled data model for a RCP application with databinding. From an .genmodel file you can generate next to your .model plugin a separate .observables plugin which contains wrapper classes to your emf model classes. Using this classes you can easily
- build your memory based data model using a builder interface instead of the PackageFactory classes
- access IObservable object wrappers in a type safe way
Cool! Have you considered donating the code to Eclipse and the EMFT project?
