| # Contributing to Eclipse GMF Runtime |
| |
| Thanks for your interest in this project. |
| |
| ## Project description |
| |
| The code in this repository contains the GMF Notation metamodel, which is part of the Eclipse GMF Runtime project. |
| |
| The Eclipse GMF Runtime is an industry proven application framework for creating graphical editors |
| using Eclipse EMF and Eclipse GEF. |
| |
| The GMF Runtime provides many features that one would have to code by hand if using EMF and GMF directly. |
| |
| - A set of reusable components for graphical editors, such as printing, image export, actions and toolbars and much more. |
| - A standardized model to describe diagram elements, which separates between the semantic (domain) and notation (diagram) elements. |
| - A command infrastructure that bridges the different command frameworks used by EMF and GEF. |
| - An extensible framework that allows graphical editors to be open and extendible. |
