My Notes
--------
June 28, 2021

Learn more about Sirius, Xtext, Acceleo and other Eclipse-based domain-specific modeling tools.
Also: domain-specific languages.

How to Install Java
-------------------
- I installed Java 11 SDK

How to Install Eclipse (for Linux Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS, 64-bit)
----------------------
- based on my notebook notes for June 1, 2020

Steps:
 - install the Eclipse Installer 2020-03 R
  - I downloaded eclipse-inst-linux64.tar.gz to Downloads  (51.4 MB)
  - I unzipped this file to ~/eclipse-installer
  - I double-clicked eclipse-inst
 - they recommend installing the best basic package for me, and then adding additional features
 - install the basic Java package
 - I created a Hello World app with a project name: Hello World 2020-03
  - this worked
 - can later add: Data Tools, C/C++, DSL Xtext, Web/JS, etc.

To Start Eclipse
----------------
cd ~/eclipse/java-2020-03/eclipse
OR double-click "eclipse"

    If you already have an Eclipse installed you can install it by using the UML Designer 9.0 update site:

    Welcome to UML Designer by Obeo
    UML Designer provides a set of common diagrams to work with UML 2.5 models.
    The intent is to provide an easy way to make the transition from UML to domain specific modeling.
    This way users can continue to manipulate legacy UML models and start working with DSL.
    Users can even re-use the provided representations and work in a total transparence on both UML and DSL models at the same time.

    The Melange Language Workbench
    Overview
    Melange is a language workbench that provides a modular approach for customizing, assembling and integrating multiple domain-specific language (DSL) specifications and implementations.
    
    Melange is tightly integrated with the Eclipse Modeling Framework ecosystem and relies on the Ecore meta-language for the definition of the abstract syntax of DSLs.
    Operational semantics is defined using the K3 meta-language in the form of aspects that are statically woven on the language’s syntax.
    Designers can thus easily design an interpreter for their DSL in a non-intrusive way.
    Melange is bundled as a set of Eclipse plug-ins.
    Please refer to the installation instructions for more information.
    
    Full compatibility with other tools of the EMF ecosystem (e.g. Xtext for defining a DSL’s textual syntax, or Sirius for a graphical syntax)
    
    an academic European research project, that seems to be no longer active
    but it looks interesting
