Eclipse: Xtext and integration with Epsilon/GMF/Graphiti

I want to create a DSL with graphical support in Eclipse. For the DSL I use Xtext, but cannot find good example on how to integrate the graphical part. I have not decided on one of the technologies to prove a graphical part and are prepared to use any one.

Does anybody now of good examples?

Solution

  • That depends on how you want to design the integration. What should be the main syntax for editing, text or graphics?

    Here are some examples integrating Xtext with Graphiti, GMF, and Sirius: https://github.com/spoenemann/xtext-gef

    If you don't need graphical editing, but would like to generate graphical views for your text models, you could consider KIELER (esp. the KLighD component).
