During the last weeks, Kenn and I worked together to support EMF generated editors running on RAP. I’m always mesmerized by how effective such synergies can be used when people from different teams work together for a bigger goal. Kudos to Kenn for his great work in EMF by refactoring the EMF UI bundles (namely o.e.emf.ui.common and o.e.emf.ui.edit) in order to single-source them. But what does that mean for the community?

Go out, grab EMF & RAP M6 from Helios, get your model ready, fire up properties view and switch “Rich Ajax Platform” to true. Hit the magic “Generate All” button and you’re done – an EMF backed RAP application.

For the details, please refer to the EMF/RAP integration wiki page.

In case you want to see what else is going on in the RAP space right now, I’ll be giving a RAP 1.3 N&N talk tomorrow at EclipseCon. Hope to see you there!¹
