Eclipse Community Awards 2012

The EMF framework provides a basic support for model editing. EEF aims to improve it by providing more user-friendly GUI to edit EMF models. It provides a generative component and runtime infrastructure for developing advanced components to ease the editing.

It is composed of three parts:
- A runtime containing a set of advanced widgets and a generic and extensible MVC architecture.
- Standard metamodels allowing the definition of models that will parameterize the actual editing components that are to be generated.
- An Acceleo module generating a standard architecture extending the framework's runtime.

The generated elements can be integrated in any SWT/JFace components to ease the EMF model based editing.
