This plugin contains some common libraries and frameworks, used by many other plugins. They do not add any menu item or wizard in the user interface.

Those libraries are a subset of the Eclipse Tools project:

• Eclipse Graphical Editor Framework: A framework for graphical editing used by many other plugins.
• EMF SDO and XSD: A modeling, generation, XML and data manipulation framework used by many other plugins.
• Eclipse Java EMF Model (JEM): Library for modeling, used internally by many other projects (patched to remove any visible feature).

The EMF and JEM libraries have been patched for simplicity, to removed all User interface (Wizards, Editors) that could be misleading to beginning users. If you need those functionalities, simply use the Eclipe Modeling Tools plugin, or, simplier to install, the Plugin Warrior distribution.

Installing this plugin

This plugin is in all EasyEclipse distributions, except the EasyEclipse for C and C++ distribution.

If you install this plugin on the EasyEclipse for C and C++ distribution, the dependent plugin Eclipse Java Development Tools must be present, or must be installed separately.

Getting started

This plugin contains only libraries and has no user interface; it is only designed for use in conjunction with other plugins that require those libraries. So the "Getting Started" doesn't really apply.

Tests

(Notes that tests are only displayed if the page is served statically)

• Passing:

  - New > Others: there should *not* be a tree item with Eclipse Modeling Framework > EMF Project, and Eclipse Modeling Framework > EMF Model
          - neither a :Java Emitter Templates" wizard
          

• Passing:

  - create a new project, create a file, call it zz.xml.
          - right click, Open As...: there shouldn\'t be a "EML XML" menu item, or "XMI"

• Passing:

  - create a new project, create a file, call it zz.xsd.
          - right click, Open As...: there shouldn\'t be a "Sample XML Schema Editor"
