“Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler” probably was one of the mantra the Eclipse Modeling Framework team (Ed Merks, Marcelo Paternostro, Dave Steinberg among others…) sticked to when the created the core concepts which would allow the definition of all the others tools. Ecore is a kernel, you define your domain specific model using these constructs. It boils down to cl...

At the Eclipse Foundation conference last October, we had the opportunity to demonstrate an integration of Eclipse Sirius Web and Project Jupyter Notebook for seamless design, simulation, and analysis. As a data enthusiast, I’ve always been impressed by the versatility of Jupyter. It serves as a hub for reproducible science and a gateway to a vast array of Python frameworks for data science, visua...

2023 has been here for a month, and it’s time to hop into the year of the Water Rabbit according to the Chinese calendar. Preparing the Sirius Web project’s objectives, I was wondering: what’s in store for this year? And, just for curiosity, I searched for the Chinese zodiac fortune predictions for 2023: The year of the Water Rabbit is going to be a gentler year. We’ll have time to take a breather...

When you pick technologies to build tools empowering hundreds of your engineers, you aim at making the best choice. Open-Source is the best when you play the long term. The Eclipse Foundation ensures that all the metrics related to an Open-Source project are exposed on its website, helping you to assess the effort which goes into maintaining and updating the technology. With 12 releases in 2022 , ...

Building graphical modeling tools can be a complex undertaking, especially if they need to support many features and functions. At Obeo, we have extensive experience in this area and strive to make the process as easy and accessible as possible. To accomplish this, we rely on several strategies, including modular design, higher-level abstractions, and the ability to iterate quickly on a tool defin...

I had the pleasure to participate to EclipseCon 2022 last October, near Stuttgart in Germany. It was a great conference and the opportunity to meet with the Eclipse community. I was there with several other members of the Obeo team to share our work on Sirius Web . I had the chance to be part of the program, with Benoît Lelandais from the CEA DAM (Military Applications Division of the French Nucle...

Cette année, le DevFest a eu lieu les 20 et 21 octobre 2022 à la Cité des Congrès de Nantes et a plongé les visiteurs dans le monde de Jules Vernes. Cet événement était très attendu, comme chaque année, mais peut-être encore plus, suite aux épisodes épidémiques qui ont contraint les organisateurs d'événements ces 2 dernières années à réduire les effectifs, passer en mode virtuel ou carrément annul...
