The Graphiti framework is a new approach to create highly sophisticated visual editors on top of the GEF framework. Graphiti can easily be integrated with EMF as the domain modeling framework. The creation of visual editors is done in Java, programming against the Graphiti framework API. It is ... [More] fairly simple, but yet repetitive, which makes it a candidate to be supported by the means of model-driven development. This project aims to provide one or more Domain Specific Languages (DSL) (for example with Xtext) to describe Visual DSL Editors against the Graphiti runtime, and provide code generation (for example with Xtend2) to create the boilerplate code for realizing the implementation against the Graphiti framework. Potentially the Spray DSL can be used to generate code for other frameworks [Less]
