| <h1>Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF)</h1> |
| <p>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. For more detailed |
| information see the <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/$PR/docs/#overviews">EMF Overviews</a> and <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/$PR/docs/#plandocs">Project Plan</a>.</p> |

| <p>EMF builds include <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/?project=xsd#xsd">XML Schema Definition</a> (XSD), now a component of the <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/?project=xsd">Model Development Tools</a> (MDT) project, and an EMF-based implementation of <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/$PR/?project=sdo">Service Data Objects</a> (SDO).</p> |

| <h3>What is EMF?</h3> |
| <p>EMF consists of three fundamental pieces:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li><b>EMF</b> - The core EMF framework includes a <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/javadoc/?project=emf&page=org/eclipse/emf/ecore/package-summary.html&anchor=details">meta |
| model (Ecore)</a> for describing models and runtime support for the |
| models including change notification, persistence support with |
| default XMI serialization, and a very efficient reflective API for |
| manipulating EMF objects generically.</li> |
| |
| <li class="outerli"><b>EMF.Edit -</b> The EMF.Edit framework includes generic |
| reusable classes for building editors for EMF models. It |
| provides |
| <ul> |
| <li>Content and label provider classes, property source support, |
| and other convenience classes that allow EMF models to be displayed |
| using standard desktop (JFace) viewers and property sheets.</li> |
| |
| <li>A command framework, including a set of generic command |
| implementation classes for building editors that support fully |
| automatic undo and redo.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li><b>EMF.Codegen</b> - The EMF code generation facility is |
| capable of generating everything needed to build a complete editor |
| for an EMF model. It includes a GUI from which generation options |
| can be specified, and generators can be invoked. The generation |
| facility leverages the JDT (Java Development Tooling) component of |
| Eclipse.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>Three levels of code generation are supported:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li><b>Model</b> - provides Java interfaces and implementation |
| classes for all the classes in the model, plus a factory and |
| package (meta data) implementation class.</li> |
| |
| <li><b>Adapters</b> - generates implementation classes (called |
| ItemProviders) that adapt the model classes for editing and |
| display.</li> |
| |
| <li><b>Editor</b> - produces a properly structured editor that |
| conforms to the recommended style for Eclipse EMF model editors and |
| serves as a starting point from which to start customizing.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>All generators support regeneration of code while preserving user |
| modifications. The generators can be invoked either through the GUI |
| or headless from a command line.</p> |

| <p>Want to learn more about how easy it is to use this exciting new |
| technology to help you boost your Java programming productivity, |
| application compatibility and integration? Start by reading the <a |
| href="http://www.eclipse.org/$PR/docs/">overview documents and the tutorial</a>, |
| followed by <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/$PR/downloads/">downloading the driver</a>, |
| and then sit back and watch your applications write themselves! |
| Well, not completely, but this wouldn't be a sales pitch if there |
| weren't a little bit of exaggeration.</p> |

| <h3>Service Data Objects (SDO)</h3> |
| <p>Service Data Objects (SDO) is a framework that simplifies and unifies data application development in a service oriented architecture (SOA). It supports and integrates XML and incorporates J2EE patterns and best practices. EMF includes an EMF-based implementation of Service Data Objects.</p> |

| <h3>What is SDO?</h3> |
| <p>Unlike some of the other data integration models, Service Data Objects don't stop at data abstraction. The Service Data Objects framework also incorporates a good number of J2EE patterns and best practices. SDO supports a disconnected programming model. The SDO programming model prescribes patterns of usage that allow clean separation of each of these concerns.</p> |
| <p>Put simply, Service Data Objects is a framework for data application development, which includes an architecture and API. Service Data Objects simplify the J2EE data programming model and abstract data in a service oriented architecture (SOA). SDO unifies data application development, supports, and integrates XML. Service Data Objects incorporate J2EE patterns and best practices.</p> |
