With Mars.2, we release EMF Forms 1.8.0. EMF Forms makes it really simple to create forms that edit your data, based on an EMF model. To get started with EMF Forms please refer to our getting started tutorial. In this post, we want to outline one of the new features: a new version of the Ecore editor based on EMF Forms. We will also have...

I would like to thank all the speakers for giving great presentations! Like always, we were sold out and I am very happy, that again almost all registered people appeared, so we had a “full house”. This year, we...

After Europa, Ganymede and Galileo, another simple, but great idea was to order the release by the first letter of their name in alphabetical order. This idea was realized until today...
Read MoreOver three years ago, we started the explicit development of EMF Forms as a sub component of the EMF Client Platform. The goal was to ease the development of data-centric form-based UIs based on a given EMF data model. Rather than manually coding UIs (e.g. in SWT), the approach is to describe them declaratively in a simple model language, which is focussed on the specification...

If you are not yet familiar with EMF Forms, please refer to this tutorial for a introduction of EMF Forms. EMF Forms is a sub component of the EMF Client Platform, which is designed for general support of the development of applications...
