eMoflon perspective
eMoflon console

How to install

https://emoflon.org/ hosts the eMoflon website with general information.

https://github.com/eMoflon/emoflon-docu provides documentation and the Wiki of eMoflon.

Licensing information can be found in LICENSE.md.

Install Eclipse Oxygen 2 with Modeling Tools (or higher)
Install XText 2.12.0 (or higher)
- See Help -> Eclipse Marketplace... -> Find 'Eclipse XText'
- Note: The entry says '2.11.0,' but 2.12.0 will be installed.
Clone Git repository from here: https://github.com/eMoflon/emoflon-core.git
Import the PSF file located here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eMoflon/emoflon-core/master/projectSet.psf)
Run all MWE2 workflows to generate XText-specific code
- See "Open Resource" dialog (Ctrl+Shift+R) -> Filter for files ending with .mwe2
Make sure that autobuild is active so that the remaining code is generated and the Java compiler gets triggered.
- See Project -> Build Automatically
To test your setup,
1. open a runtime Eclipse workspace,
2. create a new eMoflon EMF project (File -> New -> Other... -> Filter for 'eMoflon' -> New eMoflon EMF Project Wizard),
3. add a dummy class to the .ecore file in the /models folder of the freshly created project, and
4. observe how eMoflon generates the corresponding EMF-compliant Java code into the /gen folder.

Follow the instructions in org.moflon.core.releng.updatesite/README.md for building and releasing the update site

Make sure that Maven is installed
- See Help -> Install new Software... -> Filter for 'm2e' or look into 'General Purpose Tools/m2e - Maven Integration for Eclipse'
