“ 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 they 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...

“ Tout doit être rendu aussi simple que possible, mais pas plus simple –š™’Ÿ” était probablement l’un des mantras auxquels l’équipe du Eclipse Modeling Framework (Ed Merks, Marcelo Paternostro, Dave Steinberg, entre autres…) devait s’en tenir lorsqu’ils ont créé les concepts fondamentaux qui permettraient la définition de tous les autres outils. Ecore est un noyau, vous définissez votre modèle sp...

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...

Alors que vous profitez peut-être de votre été et que vous naviguez par ici, laissez-moi vous montrer un petit prototype sur lequel j’ai travaillé par intermittence à travers plusieurs versions de Sirius Web. Il est maintenant basé sur la dernière version de Sirius Web. Bravo à l’équipe Sirius pour leurs sorties toutes les 8 semaines comme sur des roulettes ! L’idée a été inspirée par Guesstimate ...

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...

Some very well known languages propose a graphical and a textual representation, this is notably the case of two modeling languages: UML and SysML v2. In order for Eclipse Sirius Web to adapt to the needs of any modeler, it is important that it can be used to express a model in this way. In 2017, we published with TypeFox a white paper about how a textual representation can be combined with a grap...
