Scenario Description

In this tutorial we create a graphical editor for the Ecore metamodel as the business model (domain model). This metamodel is included in your IDE installation and therefore it is easy to use. As test editor we create a simple Ecore editor step by step (see Figure).

The test editor starts very simple: In the first version it just allows to add existing EClasses from the repository to an empty diagram and edit the diagram.

In the following chapters of this tutorial this editor will be extended, so that all features of Graphiti can be shown.
