“ 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...

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...

Last June, during SiriusCon 2022, I presented a talk to explain the basics of Sirius Web . My objective was to show what kind of graphical modeling tool you can create with Sirius Web, without writing a single line of code. Unlike a diagramming tool that only allows users to create drawings, a modeling tool also manages the data that is graphically represented, ensuring a bi-directional correspond...

When creating a model with the Sirius Diagram Editor, the style of the diagram elements can be modified according to the user's requirements: the elements can be resized, the color can be changed and images can be used to represent the elements.   The user experience has been improved with Sirius 7.0.0 to use images in diagrams. This new feature is available through the “Set style to Workspace Ima...
