the first end-to-end guide to Domain-Specific Language (DSL) and Model-Driven Development (MDD) with Eclipse. • • Shows software developers how to leverage the Eclipse open source platform to gain the state-of-the-art productivity and quality benefits of DSLs and MDD. • Thoroughly covers the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF), As well as Eclipse projects covered in no other book, including GMF and QVT. • Includes comprehensive examples and code readers can learn from -- and apply in their own projects. 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, For the first time, there's a pragmatic, start-to-finish guide to creating DSLs and using MDD techniques with Eclipse. In Eclipse Modeling Project, Richard 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 co-leader of Eclipse's Modeling project, and project lead for Eclipse's Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF), 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, including Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF), Model-to-Text Transformation (M2T), and many more. In particular, he presents new best practices for using the Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF), and neverbefore- published techniques for Model-to-Model Transformation (M2M) utilizing the Eclipse Query/View/Transformation component. Throughout, Gronback introduces key concepts and technologies in the context of a start-to-finish worked example. The result is a book that any software practitioner can use to explore the remarkable potential of DSLs and MDD - and to start using these approaches in real-world projects.

Software practitioners are rapidly discovering the immense value of Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) in solving problems within clearly definable problem domains. Developers are applying DSLs to improve productivity and quality in a wide range of areas, such as finance, combat simulation, macro scripting, image generation, and more. But until now, there have been few practical resources that explain how DSLs work and how to construct them for optimal use. Software Language Engineering fills that need. Written by expert DSL consultant Anneke Kleppe, this is the first comprehensive guide to successful DSL design. Kleppe systematically introduces and explains every ingredient of an effective language specification, including its description of concepts, how those concepts are denoted, and what those concepts mean in relation to the problem domain. Kleppe carefully illuminates good design strategy, showing how to maximize the flexibility of the languages you create. She also demonstrates powerful techniques for creating new DSLs that cooperate well with general-purpose languages and leverage their power. Completely tool-independent, this book can serve as the primary resource for readers using Microsoft DSL tools, the Eclipse Modeling Framework, openArchitectureWare, or any other DSL toolset. It contains multiple examples, an illustrative running case study, and insights and background information drawn from Kleppe’s leading-edge work as a DSL researcher. Specific topics covered include Discovering the types of problems that DSLs can solve, and when to use them Comparing DSLs with general-purpose languages, frameworks, APIs, and other approaches Understanding the roles and tools available to language users and engineers Creating each component of a DSL specification Modeling both concrete and abstract syntax Understanding and describing language semantics Defining textual and visual languages based on object-oriented metamodeling and graph transformations Using metamodels and associated tools to generate grammars Integrating object-oriented modeling with graph theory Building code generators for new languages Supporting multilanguage models and programs This book provides software engineers with all the guidance they need to create DSLs that solve real problems more rapidly, and with higher-quality code.
