About

My name is Arieh Bibliowicz, I am a PhD student in the Information Systems Management area of the Industrial Engineering faculty of the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology. I am working on the executable aspects of OPM – The Object Process Methodology. While doing this, I am creating an OPM visual modeling platform on top of the Eclipse IDE, based on the EMF and GEF frameworks. My current research interest are visual programming, programming languages in general, and project management (we are a long long way from knowing how software projects should be managed, and this bothers be. But I feel that agile methodologies are taking us in the right direction).

I have been a programmer for more than 10 years (not counting my undergraduate studies), with experience in high availability, mission critical systems. During my time in the industry I worked as a programmer, team leader, system engineer/architect and even managed a 14-18 team of programmers for half a year (but managing is not yet my favorite sport :-) , so I decided to give it to someone else who want to do it and return to my old system engineer/architect position). I have programmed principally in Ada, Java, with very good knowledge of SQL (at least had good knowledge, but as time passes things fade in the memory). During my undergraduate years I also met other less mainstream languages like Lisp and Prolog. During my undergraduate studies I worked as a research assistant of Eli Biham, during which we worked on creating a language for the definition and automatic cryptanalysis of block ciphers (see my research page for more information).

I take part in the StackExchange, a great set of Q&A sites for many topics from programming to finance.

    In the objectprocessdiagrameditpart your figure is an freeform layer with setopaque set to false. My scenario here is i have two editparts one is the root with figure as freeformlayer and an child editpart which is also has an figure of freeformlayer . both has setopaque as false . the child figure does not extend to all four directions. it works only when child figures setbounds is given ?

    I cannot complete Creating GEF editor – Part 2: EMF code generation. I do not get Example EMF Model Creation Wizards and the three choices under it as shown in the figure (last figure in that tutorial). As a result, I cannot complete that step. Please let me know if I need something in Eclipse. I have double checked the steps, and think I have not missed any detail. Please let me know. Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Best regards.

    Dear

    Which jar is this package “org.eclipse.emf.ocl”, because I installed everything on MS, GEF, GMF, and I’m using the e4.
    Already posted and nobody answered me so far, could you help me?

    Regards,

      I haven’t tried using e4 yet with GEF, so I can’t help you much. A Google search points to the MDT package. Have you tried it?
