Letting EMF Tools Talk to Fujaba through Adapters

2008 research paper

In Proc. of 6th International Fujaba Days

Many software modelling tools are built on top of the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) through which they can communicate and exchange models. In contrast to that, the Fujaba Toolsuite defines its own modelling framework. Both frameworks are built on the same concepts of software modelling. Therefore, they can be adapted. This paper presents an implementation of a generic adapter layer that adapts Fujaba’s modelling framework to EMF. Through this adapter layer, Fujaba models can be processed by any EMF-based tool without adapting each of those tools individually.
