Objective of EGF

The EGF (Eclipse Generation Factories) component is a proposed open source project under the EMFT project to provide a model-based generation framework

Objective: supporting complex, large-scale and customizable generations

In order to meet this objective, EGF: Does not provide a new transformation engine or DSL editor

Reusing them Provides an extensible generation structure Provides mechanisms of generation customization Promotes the constitution of factory portfolios in order to capitalize on

generation solutions

Factory Component

Deployable unit of generation with a clear objective of generation Unit of generation with a clear contract Assembly of factory components Delegation Creation of heterogeneous and complex generation chains

Explicit declaration of generation data organised by viewpoints Orchestration of the generation with a production plan Factory Component Lifecycle: edition and execution, including

validation

Pattern customization:New methodsMethod overloadNew method invocation

Generation Pattern: Generation solution to a recurrent generation problem. A pattern has parameters, condition, and an implementation. For the implementation, EGF proposes by default a model-to-text transformation, Jet-based today.

Patterns are defined in a generation pattern viewpointPatterns are executed by a pattern execution FC
