h1 EMF EcoreTools


The Ecore Tools component provides a complete environment to create, edit and maintain Ecore models. This component eases handling of Ecore models with a Graphical Ecore Editor and bridges to other existing Ecore tools (Validation, Search, Compare, Emfatic, generators...). The Graphical Ecore Editor implements multi-diagram support, a custom tabbed properties view, validation feedbacks, refactoring capabilities... The long-term goal is to provide the same level of services as does JDT for Java.

To run the unit tests you'll need to type

@mvn clean verify -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=true  --fail-at-end@

@mvn clean verify  --projects org.eclipse.emf.ecoretools.update,org.eclipse.emf.ecoretools.tests -am -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=true  --fail-at-end@
