EMF Dos and Don´ts - Series Finale

EMF is a very powerful framework and with power comes…responsibility. You can achieve great things with a minimum of effort using EMF, but if something goes wrong, you can also spend hours trying to find out why.

This blog post is (for now) the final post of a series on things you should do and things you should not do when using EMF.  It provides a summary of all Dos and Don´ts and direct links to all individual posts:

• EMF Dos #1: RTFM – a.k.a. please read the manual
• EMF Don´ts #2: Change generated setter and getters in the model plugin
• EMF Dos #3: Rename generated methods before changing them
• EMF Don´ts #4: Default initialization in EMF Factories
• EMF Dos #5: Use multiple ECores not Subpackages
• EMF Dos #6: Design a clear containment structure
• EMF Dos #7: Remember to dispose of Adapters
• EMF Dos #8: Use EContentAdapters Carefully
• EMF Dos #9: Use EMF ItemProviders
• EMF Dos #10: Use EMF ComposedAdapterFactory
