         EMF is a Java/XML framework for generating tools and other applications
         based on simple class models. EMF helps you rapidly turn models into efficient,
         correct, and easily customizable Java code. It is intended to provide
         the benefits of formal modeling, but with a very low cost of entry. In
         addition to code generation, it provides the ability to save objects as
         XML documents for interchange with other tools and applications. Models
         can be created using annotated Java, XML documents, or modeling tools
         like Rational Rose, then imported into EMF. The code generator turns a
         model into a set of Java implementation classes. These classes are extensible
         and regenerable - you can modify them by adding user-defined methods and
         instance variables. When the model changes, you can regenerate the implementation
         classes, and your modifications will be retained. This works both ways
         - changes in the Java code can be used to update the model.<br>
         <br>
         EMF includes an <a href="http://download.eclipse.org/tools/emf/scripts/docs.php#overviews">EMF-based
