On the top of GMF Runtime, two main Eclipse projects provides tooling to ease the creation and customization of GMF based editors:
−
*[[GMF Tutorial BPMN|BPMN Diagram]]

* [https://www.eclipse.org/gmf-tooling/ GMF Tooling] with a generative approach. This project was discontinued.

* [https://www.eclipse.org/sirius/ Eclipse Sirius] with an interpretive approach. It is now the preferred way to create GMF based editors

So, if you want to ramp-up and start to create your own graphical editors, you can start with [https://www.eclipse.org/sirius/getstarted.html these tutorials] which hide some GMF internal complexities. Then, if you need advanced customization for specific usage, read GMF Runtime Tutorials below.

Introduction and Overview

The core of Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF) is GMF Runtime, a Java based framework to run graphical editors for EMF Models. It provides a highly customizable way to render any model elements with several kinds of graphical shape and an ergonomic UX.

The project page of GMF Runtime is available at [1]. Most of the documentation is available in this index.

On the top of GMF Runtime, two main Eclipse projects provides tooling to ease the creation and customization of GMF based editors:

  • GMF Tooling with a generative approach. This project was discontinued.
  • Eclipse Sirius with an interpretive approach. It is now the preferred way to create GMF based editors

So, if you want to ramp-up and start to create your own graphical editors, you can start with these tutorials which hide some GMF internal complexities. Then, if you need advanced customization for specific usage, read GMF Runtime Tutorials below.
