Hi Mark, EMF is just a Eclipse based data model framework, if we want to build some graphics edition application, we can use EMF to edit our data model,but only EMF is not enough.
In the first fews year, developers use EMF+GEF to develop graphics edition application, but now, There is a good framework called GMF which include EMF features and GEF features, it is a excellent Eclipse based Model-View-Controller graphics edition framework 2010/4/2 Mark Fortner <phidia...@gmail.com> > Just out of curiosity, wouldn't it be easier to simply create a SCXML > serializer plug-in for the EMF, since EMF already supports state diagrams > (in addition to all the other diagram types)?
