Installing this plugin

This plugin is not shipped in any distribution. You must manually install it on an EasyEclipse distribution.

The dependent plugins Eclipse Java Development Tools, Plugin Development Environment and Eclipse Modeling Tools must be present in the EasyEclipse distribution you use, or must be installed separately.

Getting started

Help is available for this plugin, in the Help > Help Contents menu in EasyEclipse.

The GMF plugin comes with extensive documentation; a very good tutorial is available on Eclipse website (see the Link section for URLs). Note that GMF makes heavy use of the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF); although the use of EMF is transparent at first, it is useful to understand how it works.
