Towards Graph Transformation Based Generation of Visual Editors Using Eclipse
Karsten Ehrig, Claudia Ermel, Stefan Hänsgen, Gabriele Taentzer · Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science · 2005
This work discusses the state-of-the-art of visual editor generation based on graph transformation concepts on one hand, and using the Eclipse technology which includes the Graphical Editor Framework (GEF), on the other hand. Due to existing shortcomings in both approaches, we present a combined approach for a tool environment that allows to generate a GEF-based editor from a formal, graph-transformation based visual language specification.
