Working with the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF)

PowerDesigner supports modeling in the EMF language including round-trip engineering.

The Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF), is a modeling framework and code generation facility for building tools and other applications based on a structured data model. An EMF model provides a simple model of the classes and data of an application and is used as a metadata definition framework in lots of Eclipse based tools, including Sybase DI and Sybase WorkSpace.

For more information on EMF, see the EMF documentation and tutorials at http://www.eclipse.org/emf.

• EMF Objects
  The following objects are available in an OOM targeted for EMF.
• Generating EMF Files
  PowerDesigner can generate EMF .ecore and .genmodel files.
• Reverse Engineering EMF Files
  In order to reverse engineer EMF files into an OOM, you must use the PowerDesigner Eclipse plugin, and also have installed the EMF plugin.
