Introduction

The EEF workflow is the same than many others projects of the Eclipse Modeling Project :

  • Modeling : In the first step, you have to define some models (conforms to EEF metamodels) describing the graphical components that will be generated by EEF.
  • Generating : Once the EEF models defined, the second step in the EEF development is to call he EEF generating module. EEF bring an Acceleo module that generate the java classes for the components defined in the preceding step.
  • Customization : An optional third step can be done by customizing java code to add features that aren't directly accessible by the EEF generation. The third component of EEF is the runtime that is used by the generated code. This runtime is extensible, so you can substitute the generated code by your code and bring new features.

The custom can also be done by adding custom code in dedicated area in the generated code (called "user code area"). Acceleo will keep this code in the next generators invocation.

This document will describes all these steps in the user point of view.
