<h3>EGF: a Software Production Framework</h3>
<div id="introText">
	<p>A major concern in software engineering is to deliver on time with the expected level of quality, 
		while requirements and development environments evolve and are more and more complex. 
		In order to meet those needs, generation is a means which avoids wasting time and efforts. 
		The purpose of EGF is to provide an extensible model-based generation framework and to support complex, 
		customizable and integrated generations.</p>

	<h3>Examples of portfolio delivered with EGF</h3>
    <p>EGF is an engine based on four types of generation unit today: 
        <b>factory component, task, pattern and generation chain</b>.
        EGF is also provided with examples of portfolio.  
        <ul>
            <li><b>Enhancement of the EMF Generation</b> in order to customize and enrich the EMF Generation</li>
            <li><b>Build chain editor and generator</b> with Hudson and Buckminster as the default target</li>
        </ul>
    </p>

	<h3>Activity Workflow</h3>
	<p>The EGF infrastructure does not strictly reduce EGF to generation. 
	Software production includes related generation activities, such as the creation of the generation environment. 
	As a consequence, EGF can just be used for its <b>activity workflow</b> 
	(contained in a factory component) 
	which enables to combine activities written in one or several different languages. Java and Ruby are the two languages supported today.</p>
