Achieve Breakthrough Productivity and Quality with MDD and Eclipse-Based DSLs Domain-specific languages (DSLs) and model-driven development (MDD) offer software engineers powerful new ways to improve productivity, enhance quality, and insulate systems from rapid technological change. Now, there's a pragmatic, start-to-finish guide to creating DSLs and using MDD techniques with the powerful open source Eclipse platform. In Eclipse Modeling Project, Richard C. Gronback illuminates both the principles and techniques software professionals need to master, offering insights that will be invaluable to developers working with any tool or platform. As coleader of the Eclipse Modeling Project, Gronback is singularly well-positioned to demonstrate DSLs and MDD at work in Eclipse. Gronback systematically introduces each of the Eclipse technologies that can be used in DSL and MDD development. Throughout, he introduces key concepts and technologies in the context of a complete worked example and presents new best practices and never-before published techniques. He also covers Eclipse projects discussed in no other book, including Query/View/Transformation (QVT) and the Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF)-a project the author personally leads.  Eclipse Modeling Project gives software practitioners all the knowledge they need to explore the remarkable potential of DSLs and MDD-and includes coverage of  Why a model-based approach enables the rapid customization of high-quality solutions within the product line paradigm How the Eclipse Modeling Project's capabilities can be used to efficiently create new DSLs Powerful techniques for developing DSL abstract syntax, graphical notation, and textual syntax How to build Model-to-Model (M2M) and Model-to-Text (M2T) transformations-including a powerful new M2M implementation of the Object Management Group's QVT Operational Mapping Language (OML)Efficiently packaging and deploying DSLs with EclipseComplete reference sections for the Graphical Editing Framework (GEF), GMF runtime and tooling, QVT OML, Xpand, and more Foreword     xixPreface     xxiAcknowledgments     xxiiiAbout the Author     xxv Part I: Introduction     1Chapter 1: Introduction     3Chapter 2: Modeling Project as a DSL Toolkit     17 Part II: Developing Domain-Specific Languages     27Chapter 3: Developing a DSL Abstract Syntax     29Chapter 4: Developing a DSL Graphical Notation     55Chapter 5: Developing a DSL Textual Syntax     227Chapter 6: Developing Model-to-Model Transformations     231Chapter 7: Developing Model-to-Text Transformations     277Chapter 8: DSL Packaging and Deployment     303 Part III: Reference     315Chapter 9: Graphical Editing Framework     317Chapter 10: Graphical Modeling Framework Runtime     353Chapter 11: Graphical Modeling Framework Tooling     503Chapter 12: Graphical Modeling Framework FAQs     545Chapter 13: Query/View/Transformation Operational Mapping Language     549Chapter 14: Xpand Template Language     605 Part IV: Appendixes     651Appendix A: Graphical Modeling Framework Key Bindings     653Appendix B: Model-Driven Architecture at Eclipse     661 References     671
