Presentation of Ecore Tools
The Ecore Tools component provides a complete environment to create, edit and maintain Ecore models. This component eases handling of Ecore models with a Graphical Ecore Editor and bridges to other existing Ecore tools (Validation, Search, Compare, Emfatic, generators...). The Graphical Ecore Editor implements multi-diagram support, a custom tabbed properties view, validation feedbacks, refactoring capabilities...
Non-Code Aspects
Unit tests
13 Junit tests cover the UI aspects of the editor. These JUnit tests execute successfully in a workspace, but since the Indigo migration, there is a configuration issue preventing their automatic launch on the build server.
Code quality
Comments represent 32% of the Java source code.
