Usability Details

EMF Facet is a solution to extend existing Ecore meta-models without having to modify them.

The idea is to provide non-intrusive mechanisms to add new features (types, attributes, operations and references) to a meta-model and to customize the existing features by adding extra properties (icons, labels, etc.)

For example, EMF Facet is used by :

  • MoDisco, to adapt source code meta-models to specific use cases (eg. Java code pattern matching);
End of Life

Each API deprecation is tracked by a bug tagged [Deprecated].

All the deprecated API and features declared before 0.4.2 have been removed.

Standards

The EMF Facet does not implement any standards.
