Eclipse EMF: an out-of-the-box CRUD for a database

This tutorial assumes that you have followed these other tutorials in the specified order: Eclipse EMF: Designing the Model Eclipse EMF: a CRUD at no-cost the goal here is to show how, with just some extra lines of code added to the EMF generated plugins, we can have our model persisted and maintained on a database. We will use MySQL as the target database, so make sure you have the access to such a database server (you can always download it at http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql). We'll use the "test" schema (pre-loaded empty while installing MySQL); anyway you can use another schema simply [...]

Teneo Setup for Eclipse 4.2 – Juno

In this section we will see how, starting from Eclipse Juno Modeling, you can install some plugins that will allow management of the persistence to a database using the Teneo framework. This framework implements a layer that links EMF and ORMs like Hibernate or EclipseLink, which in turn handle the persistence on relational databases. The advantage, in using Teneo, is that you can act at EMF level and hit the database, without knowing the intermediate mechanisms. Regarding the database choice, in this series of articles, we will work with MySQL as target database. Go to menu Help -> Install New [...]

Label and Content Providers for JFace TreeViewer

The JFace library offers some widgets, called viewers, that can represent a data model. What are they for? Let's suppose you want to show a table, a tree or a combo in order to visualize a list of objects or a hierarchical structure. You could certainly make use of basic widgets like Table, Tree or Combo, but they are usually not a good choice. Imagine you while filling a table, row by row, starting from a list of Orders and your focus is doing some action with the Order that the user selected. With a Table widget you have to [...]
