Model4Lang bases itself on Eclipse and its modeling frameworks as well as on some particular advancements in Java Standards Edition. As the development of Model4Lang goes on, I also keep close track of the development of those projects and try to leverage them instead of duplicating the efforts.

Eclipse Modeling Top-Level project and its sub-projects

The Eclipse Modeling Top-Level project outlined in its scope several things Model4Lang can directly leverage. They are an abstract syntax model, a concrete syntax model, and model-to-text transformations. Model4Lang depends heavily on sub-projects of the Modeling Top-Level project such as EMF, EMFT and GMF.
