As part of the Eclipse Modeling Project, a number of tools for defining DSLs and generating code have been developed over the last couple of years. In this talk, Markus will show a subset of these tools that have proven particularly useful. These include Xtext for definition of textual DSLs and editors, Check for defining constraints, as well as Xtend and Xpand for transforming models and generating code. Markus will motivate the approach by looking at how textual languages are used for software architecture modeling.
