Introduction
Mint is a proposed open source component in the Eclipse Modeling Framework Technology (EMFT) project whose goal is to improve out-of-the-box user experience when developing EMF-based solutions. For the most part, this is accomplished by extending Java Development Tools (JDT) with EMF-specific enhancements.

Background
The EMF SDK comes with basic structured editors that allow for development of Ecore models and subsequent generation of related Java code. Furthermore, EMF supports creating Ecore models from Javadoc-annotated source code. However, there are opportunities for tighter integration with existing development tools, particularly JDT, given EMF's meta-data-driven nature. While providing a full-scale model-driven application development environment is not part of the EMF's charter (rather, it is left up to extenders and add-on providers), we believe that several relatively small enhancements would go a long way toward improving out-of-the-box experience when developing EMF-based applications.
