The document provides an overview of Eclipse Modeling and Xtext. Eclipse Modeling is the umbrella project for all modeling technologies on the Eclipse platform, including the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) and Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF). Xtext makes it easier to create textual domain-specific languages (DSLs) by generating a parser, metamodel, and Eclipse editor from an EBNF grammar. It discusses how Xtext grammars map to EMF metamodels and the different types of grammar rules like types, references, strings, enums, and natives.
