Modigen: Model-Driven Generation of Graphical Editors in Eclipse
Domain-specific modeling is more and more understood as a comparable solution compared to classical software development. Textual domain-specific languages (DSLs) already have a massive impactin contrast tographical DSLs, they still have to show their full potential. The established textual DSLs are normally generated from a domain specific grammar or maybe other specific textual descriptions. And advantage of textual DSLs is thatthey can be development cost-efficient. In this paper, we describe asimilar approach for the creation of graphical DSLs from textual descriptions. We present a set of speciallydeveloped textual DSLs to fully describe graphical DSLs based on node and edge diagrams. These are, together with an EMF meta-model, the input for a generator that produces an eclipse-based graphical Editor. The entire project is available as open source under the name MoDiGen.
