What is the best (most stable, with rich functionality) plugin using EMF? I personally tried omondo, which looked very good, but maybe there are others?

Most of the really functional EMF-based plugins are part of IBM's WebSphere Studio, so you can't download them for free. One really powerful EMF-based project is the XML Schema model and sample editor of the XSD technology project at eclipse.

A fully-functional trial version of Studio is available for download, although you do have to register. Hint: The download is an exact CD-ROM image divided into 17 parts. To make it less burdensome, use the "Download Director" to bring them all down in one click. Then unpack each segment and execute "launchpad.exe" in the disk1 directory to begin the installation. -- Dan

I use WebSphere Studio all the time (I use WDSC, which includes the iSeries extensions). Where might I see EMF in action there? Joe

Joe, it's sort of like seeing your house foundation in action EMF is used as the underlying data model for most of the tools in WebShere, so if it's up and running, you're seing EMF in action. Their are EMF models for EJB, RDB, XML, DTD, XMLSchema, WSDL, among others. There's also a generic EMF mapping model used by all of the mapping tools. The EJB to RDB mapping tool and the XML transformation tool are pretty visible EMF examples.

Makes sense. I'll have to check out some of those features. The more advanced EJB stuff I don't mess with, but I bet I can see some of this stuff in action when I open up the XML Perspective. I'll take a gander in my copious free time . Joe
