Model Weaver editor

The Model Weaver editor provides you the abilities to weave N metamodels.

The core plug-in allows you :

• to initialize a weaving section with the wizard
• to work in the Weaving perspective
• to create instance of WLink, WLinkEnd, WAssociation, WAssociationEnd with menus and drag and drop (see the base metamodel)
  
• to copy, cut, paste, undo, redo and delete

The base extension plug-in allows you :

• to automatically create instances of WModel, WModelRef and WElementRef concrete classes;
• to initialize menus;
• to show others properties for a WModel instance;
• to use specific ID generation mechanisms for each object (and save new models which use those mechanisms)
• to make drag and drop of WLinkEnd in WLink (from element in woven panel to WLink in weaving panel);
• to make drag and drop of WAssociationEnd in WAssociation (from WLink to WAssociation in weaving panel);
• to highlight corresponded elements of woven panel for a selection of WLink;
• to highlight WLink for a selection of WAssociation.
