Abstract

EMF (The Eclipse Modeling Framework) is a Java framework andcode generation facility for building tools and other applications basedon a structured model. Once you specify an EMF model, the EMFgenerator can create a corresponding set of Java implementation classes.In the following tutorial I’m going to generate a simple-and-stupid LIMS.

We’re going to create an interface for a simple-and-stupid LIMS.

1

• A laboratory contains a list of Families

• A laboratory contains a list of Sequencers

• a family contains a list of Individuals

• an Individual contains a list of Samples

• a Sequencer contains a list of Runs

• a Run contains a list of Sequenced which links to a Sample.

At the end of this tutorial, we’re going to generate the following heavy clientfor our model:

1 Install the EMF plugins for Eclipse

see http://wiki.eclipse.org/EMF/Installation#Install_EMF.

2 Creating the Model

A model is created and defined in the Ecore format, which is basically asub-set of UML Class diagrams.

2

2.1 Create the Project

• Open Eclipse

• Menu File → New → New Project... → Empty EMF Project

• Name the project EMF03-Model

2.2 Create the ECore model

create a new ’ECore’ file in the model folder in your new modeling project.

• Menu File → New → Other.. → ECore Model

• Wizard: select the folder EMF03-Model/model.

• Wizard: set the filename as lims.ecore.

• Wizard: set Model Object as EPackage.

• Menu Window → Show View → Other → Properties

An EPackage named Lims is created. The package contains 7 EClass and 1EEnum(s). The EPackage Lims is defined as below:

Key Valuename Lims

nsURI http://univ-nantes.fr/lims/nsPrefix lims

Next, were going to create the EEnum and the EClass:

• In the tree view right click on the node EPackage ”Lims” , create a newEEnum and set the name property to ”Gender”.

• In the tree view right click on the node EPackage ”Lims” , create a newEClass and set the name property to ”Family”.

• In the tree view right click on the node EPackage ”Lims” , create a newEClass and set the name property to ”Laboratory”.

• In the tree view right click on the node EPackage ”Lims” , create a newEClass and set the name property to ”Individual”.

• In the tree view right click on the node EPackage ”Lims” , create a newEClass and set the name property to ”Sequencer”.

• In the tree view right click on the node EPackage ”Lims” , create a newEClass and set the name property to ”Run”.

• In the tree view right click on the node EPackage ”Lims” , create a newEClass and set the name property to ”Sample”.

3

• In the tree view right click on the node EPackage ”Lims” , create a newEClass and set the name property to ”Sequenced”.

Then, we complete the structure of each classifier:

2.3 Gender

In the tree view, right-click on the node EEnum ”Gender” and add thefollowing 3 eLiterals:

3 GenModel

We’re going to generate the Genmodel for our model. The Genmodelcontains additional information for the codegeneration, e.g. the path and file

13

information.

3.1 Create the GenModel Project

• Menu File → New → New Project... → EMF Generator Project

• Select the folder EMF03-Model/model

• Set the file name to lims.genmodel

• select a "Model Importer": "Ecore model"

• import the model ”URI: platform:/resource/EMF03/model/lims.ecore”

3.2 Edit the GenModel Project

In the tree view of the Genmodel, click on the root node and edit itsproperties:

• set All → Runtime Platform → to ”RCP”.

click on the package node ’Lims’ and edit its properties:

• set All → BasePackage → to ”com.github.lindenb.lims”.

4 Generating the code

In the tree view of the Genmodel, right click the root node: Generate All :four new Eclipse plugins have been created:

• Model: contains the classes to create the instances of our model.

• EMF03.edit : classes to display a model in a UI (labels... )

• EMF03.editor: The editor plugin is a generated example editor to createand modify instances of a model.

• EMF03.tests: The test plugin contains templates to write tests for amodel.

Here is an example of the interface com.github.lindenb.lims.Lims.Familygenerated by EMF:
