Achieve Breakthrough Productivity and Quality with Eclipse-based MDD and DSLs Domain-specific languages (DSLs) and model-driven development engineer offers (MDD) software a powerful new way to increase productivity, improve quality, and protect the system from rapid technological change. Gronback illuminate both the principles and techniques of software professionals need to master, offers invaluable insights for developers who work with tools or platforms. As coleader of the Eclipse Modeling Project, Gronback is singular good position to show DSLs and MDD at work in Eclipse. Eclipse Modeling Project provides software practitioners all the knowledge they need to explore the tremendous potential of DSLs and MDD from? And includes coverage Why model-based approach enables rapid customization of high-quality solutions in the product line paradigm How Eclipse Modeling Project? S capabilities can be used to efficiently create new DSLs Powerful techniques to develop a DSL abstract syntax notation, graphical, and textual syntax How to build Model-to-Model (M2M) and model-to-Text (m2t) transformation? including implementation of new robust M2M Objects QVT Operational Management Structure Mapping Language (OML) efficient packaging and use DSLs with Eclipse Complete? reference section for the Graphical Editing Framework (GEF), GMF runtime and tooling, QVT OML, Xpand, and more Preface xix Introduction xxi Acknowledgments xxiii About the Author XXV Part I: Introduction 1 Chapter 1: Introduction 3 Chapter 2: Modeling Project as a DSL Toolkit 17 Part II: Domain-Specific Languages 27 Developing Chapter 3: Developing a DSL Abstract Syntax 29 Chapter 4: Developing a graphical notation DSL 55 Chapter 5: Developing a DSL Textual Syntax 227 Chapter 6: Transformation Model Develop-to-Model 231 Chapter 7: Developing Model-to-Text Transformation 277 Chapter 8: DSL Packaging and Deployment 303 Part III: References 315 Chapter 9: Graphical Editing Framework 317 Chapter 10: Graphical Modeling Framework Runtime 353 Chapter 11: Graphical Modeling Framework 503 Tooling Chapter 12: Graphical Modeling Framework FAQ 545 Chapter 13: Query / View / Transformation Operational Mapping Language 549 Chapter 14: Xpand Template Language 605 Part IV: Appendix 651 Appendix A: Graphical Modeling Framework Key Bindings 653 Appendix B: Model-Driven Architecture in Eclipse 661 Reference 671
