| # Contributing to Eclipse EMF | |
| Thanks for your interest in this project. | |
| ## Project description | |
| Eclipse EMF is a modeling framework and code generation facility for building | |
| tools and other applications based on a structured data model. From a model | |
| specification described in XMI, EMF provides tools and runtime support to | |
| produce a set of Java classes for the model, a set of adapter classes that | |
| enable viewing and command-based editing of the model, and a basic editor. | |
| Models can be specified using annotated Java, XML documents, or modeling tools | |
| like Rational Rose, then imported into EMF. Most important of all, EMF provides | |
| the foundation for interoperability with other EMF-based tools and applications. | |
