| <p>This example uses Eclipse EMF<a name="N1000D" class="indexterm"/> as the basis for code generation. A large amount of available |
| third-party tools makes EMF a good basis. Specifically, better tools for |
| building EMF metamodels are available already (Xtext, GMF, etc.). To get a |
| deeper understanding of EMF we recommend that you first read the EMF |
| tutorial at </p> |

| <p> You can also run this tutorial without a complete |

| <p>Before you can go through the tutorial and execute the examples, you |
