I am an undergraduate student looking to use this framework for a school project. I have experience in Java and am learning typescript so I want to work with the Java-EMF-Theia Template. I am trying to get the backend of an old Java modeling software tool and move it so that it is part of this innovative graphical framework. As I have been looking at the code, I understand that there are concepts that I must become familiar with, and wanted to know if there was a guide for new users to the framework. I have tried looking online, but I do not see tutorials explaining examples of how one would go about starting their diagram or what concepts to study other than programming languages. I would like to start with learning the steps to connect the client and server by adding a completely new visual entity. I would appreciate it if it could be explained. Thank you. |

Hey there! It's great to hear about your interest in using the Eclipse GLSP for your school project. For an introduction, the Getting Started Guide on the Eclipse GLSP documentation is the perfect place to start. It'll guide you through the initial steps and fundamental concepts required to get your application running, based on the Java-EMF-Theia Template in your case. The Java-EMF-Theia template you mentioned is a solid starting point for integrating the backend of an older Java modeling tool. Next, you'll probably may want to look at integrating your custom source model from the old modeling tool. I'm not sure whether this is EMF-based or not, but essentially you'll just need to load the source model and transform it into the graphical model. Then you can start working on the rendering and implement the edit operations. I've linked the respective parts of the GLSP documentation above. Additionally, there's a tutorial recording available here which, despite being slightly outdated in some aspects, provides a solid overview of the framework and can be quite helpful in visualizing how everything comes together. Diving into a new framework can be challenging, but with these resources, I hope you'll be well on your way. Don't hesitate to reach out to the community if you have more questions or need further assistance. Best of luck with your project! |
