Preliminaries
The Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) belongs to the most important technologies in the Eclipse world. One of the more recent indicators of this is its being used to describe the very foundation of Eclipse 4 (or e4, which of course sounds way cooler) applications: the application model. We might come back to the application model in the project phase of our practical. Another indication is that EMF has come to be the foundation of most other modeling-related Eclipse projects. Thus, there is important stuff to be learned in this tutorial!

Additionally, install the EcoreViz from the Ecore Model Visualization category from the OpenKieler update site: http://rtsys.informatik.uni-kiel.de/~kieler/updatesite/nightly-openkieler/.
Finding Documentation
For an introduction to EMF, here's a few suggestions to get you started:

We won't touch upon EMF's notification mechanism in this tutorial, but we still wanted to mention it. EMF models can be (and are) used as the main models holding the data edited by applications. The notification mechanisms allow you to add observers to the model that get notified upon a definable set of editing operations executed on the model. Feel free so search the Internet for tutorials and introductions to this topic.
