GMP/GMF-Tooling/HeliosReview

This page provides the required docuware for the GMF Tooling 2.3.0 Release Review, as part of the upcoming Helios Simultaneous Release.

Overview

The GMF Tooling project provides a model-driven approach to generating graphical editors in Eclipse. By defining a tooling, graphical and mapping model definition, one can generate a fully functional graphical editor based on the GMF Runtime.

Features

New in this release

One significant event with the Helios release was that the GMF project was restructured under the new Graphical Modeling Project (GMP). GMP includes GMF Tooling, as well as GMF Notation, GMF Runtime and Graphiti.

GMF Tooling is undergoing it's participation in the Eclipse Simultaneous release as it has for each and every release. This is the fifth yearly June release of GMF Tooling.
