A High Level Approach for Generating Model´s Graphical Editors

Domain Specific Languages (DSL) are increasingly used in software engineering and other domains. The result is an increasing need of appropriate DSL´s tools, especially platform for building, editors and runtime associated with DSLs. Different experiences show that existent DSL tools are generally not user friendly enough, or simply unadapted for the generation of graphical DSL editors. In this paper we present a higher level and effortless framework for generating graphical DSL editors. This framework was designed and experienced in the context of an autonomic management system based on a component model.
