Sirius-based notation

• Create a generic Eclipse project with the Emfatic metamodel
  • Name the project after your metamodel (e.g. if the filename of your metamodel is sdl.emf, name the project sdl)
• Generate the .ecore file from the Emfatic metamodel, and use it to generate the model, edit, and editor plugins
  • For detailed steps, check the recording of the second lecture of Week 6 (“The Eclipse Modeling Framework”)
• Define a Sirius graphical editor following the steps in the Sirius lectures on Week 7
• Run a nested Eclipse instance
  • Right-click on your project and select Run as -> Eclipse Application
• Create a model using your Sirius-based editor in the nested workspace
