Abstract
EMF (The Eclipse Modeling Framework) is a Java framework and
code generation facility for building tools and other applications based
on a structured model. Once you specify an EMF model, the EMF
generator can create a corresponding set of Java implementation classes.
In the following tutorial I’m going to generate a simple-and-stupid LIMS.
We’re going to create an interface for a simple-and-stupid LIMS.
1

2. • A laboratory contains a list of Families
• A laboratory contains a list of Sequencers
• a family contains a list of Individuals
• an Individual contains a list of Samples
• a Sequencer contains a list of Runs
• a Run contains a list of Sequenced which links to a Sample.
At the end of this tutorial, we’re going to generate the following heavy client
for our model:
1 Install the EMF plugins for Eclipse
see http://wiki.eclipse.org/EMF/Installation#Install_EMF.
2 Creating the Model
A model is created and defined in the Ecore format, which is basically a
sub-set of UML Class diagrams.

3. 2.1 Create the Project
• Open Eclipse
• Menu File → New → New Project... → Empty EMF Project
• Name the project EMF03-Model
2.2 Create the ECore model
create a new ’ECore’ file in the model folder in your new modeling project.
• Menu File → New → Other.. → ECore Model
• Wizard: select the folder EMF03-Model/model.
• Wizard: set the filename as lims.ecore.
• Wizard: set Model Object as EPackage.
• Menu Window → Show View → Other → Properties
An EPackage named Lims is created. The package contains 7 EClass and 1
EEnum(s). The EPackage Lims is defined as below:
Key Value
name Lims
nsURI http://univ-nantes.fr/lims/
nsPrefix lims
Next, were going to create the EEnum and the EClass:
• In the tree view right click on the node EPackage ”Lims” , create a new
EEnum and set the name property to ”Gender”.
• In the tree view right click on the node EPackage ”Lims” , create a new
EClass and set the name property to ”Family”.
• In the tree view right click on the node EPackage ”Lims” , create a new
EClass and set the name property to ”Laboratory”.
• In the tree view right click on the node EPackage ”Lims” , create a new
EClass and set the name property to ”Individual”.
• In the tree view right click on the node EPackage ”Lims” , create a new
EClass and set the name property to ”Sequencer”.
• In the tree view right click on the node EPackage ”Lims” , create a new
EClass and set the name property to ”Run”.
• In the tree view right click on the node EPackage ”Lims” , create a new
EClass and set the name property to ”Sample”.

4. • In the tree view right click on the node EPackage ”Lims” , create a new
EClass and set the name property to ”Sequenced”.
Then, we complete the structure of each classifier:

3 GenModel
We’re going to generate the Genmodel for our model. The Genmodel
contains additional information for the codegeneration, e.g. the path and file
13

14. information.
3.1 Create the GenModel Project
• Menu File → New → New Project... → EMF Generator Project
• Select the folder EMF03-Model/model
• Set the file name to lims.genmodel
• select a "Model Importer": "Ecore model"
• import the model ”URI: platform:/resource/EMF03/model/lims.ecore”
3.2 Edit the GenModel Project
In the tree view of the Genmodel, click on the root node and edit its
properties:
• set All → Runtime Platform → to ”RCP”.
click on the package node ’Lims’ and edit its properties:
• set All → BasePackage → to ”com.github.lindenb.lims”.

17. 4 Generating the code
In the tree view of the Genmodel, right click the root node: Generate All :
four new Eclipse plugins have been created:
• Model: contains the classes to create the instances of our model.
• EMF03.edit : classes to display a model in a UI (labels... )
• EMF03.editor: The editor plugin is a generated example editor to create
and modify instances of a model.
• EMF03.tests: The test plugin contains templates to write tests for a
model.
Here is an example of the interface com.github.lindenb.lims.Lims.Family
generated by EMF:
1 package com . github . l i n d e n b . l i m s . Lims ;
