Obama's foreign policy reset
By Doyle McManus. Los Angeles TimesThe appointment of Susan Rice as national security advisor sends an important signal about the kind of foreign policy President Obama wants to pursue for the remainder of his second term: activist, assertive, occasionally even pugnacious. With three years to shape a legacy in world affairs, Obama wants to play offense, not defense.

Mounting Signs of GOP Rebellion Against Immigration Reform
By Beth Reinhard, National JournalResistance to a sweeping immigration overhaul is moving from conservative talk shows to the corridors of power.
The Republican-controlled House of Representatives on Thursday rejected President Obama's policy to stop deporting young people brought to this country illegally as children. With all but six Republicans voting against funding a policy that lets hundreds of thousands of law-abiding but undocumented youth enrolled in high school or the military to stay in this country, the vote spotlighted the long odds facing the much broader Senate bill to allow 11 million illegal immigrants earn citizenship.

Despite Ambivalence, a Strong Embrace of Divisive Security Tools
By Peter Baker, The New York TimesTwo weeks ago, President Obama went before an audience of generals and spies to declare that "all wars must end" and that he could see a day when even the amorphous struggle with terrorists would essentially come to a close.
But that day is clearly not here.
The disclosure of the government's vast surveillance of American telephone records and foreigners' e-mail and other Internet communications on Thursday served as a potent reminder that Mr. Obama continues to deploy many of the national security tools he inherited from his predecessor even as he seeks to turn the corner in the way the United States responds to terrorism.

Cyber Spying Expected To Be Discussed At U.S.-China Summit
With Tom Gjelten, NPRThe Pentagon recently released a report directly accusing China of using cyberweapons to gain a military advantage with the U.S. The scope of the problem and the damage done by cyber espionage is not clear. But the issue will be on the agenda when President Obama meets China's new president Xi Jinping in California on Friday.

In California on Friday, President Obama has a message for young, healthy Hispanics who could qualify for help purchasing health coverage in that state: "Get insured!"
A third of the estimated 2.7 million "young and healthy" Americans who could enroll for benefits under Obamacare beginning Oct. 1 live in just three states: California, Florida and Texas, according to administration officials.

Chris Christie Doesn't Care If You Don't Like Him
By Amy Walter, Cook Political ReportDear national party leaders and pundits: Chris Christie doesn't care what you think of him.
Chris Christie's first priority is to Chris Christie. Not to the national party. Not to conservative leaders. Not to primary or caucus goers in early states.
It's what makes him a solid favorite for re-election in New Jersey. But, it's also what makes him a decided underdog in a 2016 GOP primary.

Senate Democrats Change The Guard
By Reid Wilson, National Journal's HotlineEvery decade or so, an electoral wave sends a new generation of politicians to Congress, injecting life and energy into stagnant legislative and policy realms. Such has been the case for the class of Republicans elected in 2010. Their zeal, and the GOP's control of the House of Representatives, has driven much of the Washington debate over the last two years.

The GOP's Free Pass
By John Dickerson, Slate MagazineEver since the Obama administration ran aground on a series of scandals, Republicans have been trying hard to go from zero to Watergate. No matter how hard they stomp on the accelerator, the car won't go. On the left, there is a similar desire to go from zero to McCarthy. The main target: Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, who has been investigating the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and the Internal Revenue Service targeting conservative groups. On Sunday, Issa called White House spokesman Jay Carney a "paid liar," in keeping with the Republican congressman's general temperament, which is to accuse first and find the facts later. Democrats are trying to promote the idea that Republicans are overplaying their hand with these controversies. Several times, analysts have raised the specter of the 1990s House Republicans who took their party over the cliff with mad passion in the investigations of Bill Clinton.

GOP Seeks Tougher Border Security in Immigration Bill

Where's the Enemies List?
By Doyle McManus, Los Angeles TimesWho exactly is the enemy in the continuing U.S. war against terrorism?
In some cases, the answer is: It's a secret.
When the United States began its war against Al Qaeda after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the identity of the enemy was clear: Osama bin Laden and his followers, and the Taliban who protected them in Afghanistan. Congress quickly passed a resolution authorizing President George W. Bush to use "all necessary and appropriate force" against anyone who "planned, authorized, committed or aided" the 9/11 attacks, plus anyone who harbored them.

In recent weeks, we have heard statements from leaders on the international stage that we are on the path to eradicating absolute poverty in the next two decades. I'd prefer we wait to 2030 to really celebrate how much we did to close the gap and assure that these numbers reflect all countries and the people in them -- and that no one gets left behind.
It's a new year. Time to dust off that old piece of paper with your goals from last year and take a moment to compare what you set out to accomplish with what you actually got done. Did you hit all of your goals? If so, then shame on you! Set them higher this year and really push yourself! It's not supposed to be easy.
The only way for us to end global hunger is for governments, non-governmental organizations, business and the community work together to implement solutions we know will work. I left Bangladesh knowing that I want to help bring about an end to global hunger. So my family and I are going to take a few simple steps.
For over 25 years I worked for Save the Children across Latin America. We worked in the poorest communities and I witnessed the pain of parents who would have done anything they could, if they could to help their hungry child, their sick child, their child who wanted to go to school but couldn't for lack of money.
Remember the 0.7 per cent of their gross national product (GNP) that the world's riches nations committed to international development? Whatever became of it? Let's have a 0.7 per cent for a new generation, only this time with the concentration on that one part of the world that has lagged behind -- Africa.

The State Highway Patrol is investigating after it said a van ended up in a ditch and on fire along Interstate 75 just past Interstate 675 Friday night.
Troopers said they believe the van was traveling southbound when a tire on the vehicle may have blown out.
They said the van hit the pavement, which caused sparks and may have caused the fire.
Four people were taken to area hospitals.
Two of those victims were taken by Careflight with critical injuries.
The crash remains under investigation.

Some of our favorite stars have become ordained ministers in order to marry off their friends!A fairly new trend taking over Hollywood is celebrities marrying off their friends.
Conveniently, with the help of several online companies, one can easily be granted ordained minister status in order to conduct an official wedding and marry a couple. (Kathy Griffin says it only took her 10 minutes!) Also Read: Wedding Trend: Would You Get Married By A Friend?
It's no surprise then that many of our favorite stars, including Lady Gaga, Jason Segel and more, have taken advantage of this honor in order to unite close friends, fans, and even contest winners in holy matrimony. Find out which of your favorite stars double as ordained ministers below.
1. Lady Gaga
Just when we thought Lady Gaga had done it all, she surprised her fans by becoming an ordained minister! Also Read: Lady Gaga Has Babies On The Brain! Is She Moving Too Fast?
Gaga was ordained in 2011 to show her support of same-sex marriage, and to marry her friend/yoga instructor Tricia and her partner after same-sex marriage became legal in New York.
2. Jason Segel
Determined to be wed by Jason Segel, one couple posted an ad on Craigslist in an effort to track down the How I Met Your Mother star. After spotting Segel at a local bar, the lucky couple found themselves saying "I do" on the Tonight Show with Segel as their minister.
This story just makes us love the funny guy even more!
3. Kathy Griffin
In 2008, Kathy Griffin received a letter from her "two biggest fans" asking her to marry them.
Flattered, Griffen flew to Queens, New York to perform the ceremony, and even had it featured on her show, Life On The D List. In the episode, the comedian joked to her mom, "So you can have some respect for once, you're in the presence of a minister."
4. Fran Drescher
After winning TV Land's "Love Is Love" marriage contest, one gay couple was given the wedding of their dreams!
Fran Drescher, a gay rights activist and star of Happily Divorced, married the elated duo in NYC last March to show her support of same-sex marriage. Also Read: 'Happily Divorced': Fran Drescher's Life Turned TV Sitcom
5. Conan O'Brien
Just like Fran Drescher and Lady Gaga, late night talk show host Conan O'Brien showed his support for the gay community when he married his costume designer, Scott Cronick, and his partner, David Gorshein, last November.
The New York City wedding took place on the set of O'Brien's show in front of a live audience.
6. Kris Jenner
As seen on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kris Jenner became an ordained minister to marry her close friends, Pastor Brad and his wife Karen, at her own home in Los Angeles. The tearful ceremony had Kris joking that she was going to become a full-time minister. "Pray for Pastor Kris," she quipped.
Hmmm... will Kris be using her powers on daughter Kim and Kanye West next?
7. Tori Spelling
According to People, Tori Spelling's self-proclaimed "scariest moment" was marrying a couple at her bed and breakfast in 2007.
Describing the process of becoming ordained, Spelling wrote on her MySpace at the time: "I am now officially ordained. Yep, that's right - Reverend Tori Spelling! I did it last week online and my official certificate is in the mail."
Though shaken by the immensity of the honor placed upon her, the actress married the gay couple with grace in front of their 40 guests, and a portion of the ceremony was shown on Spelling's reality show, Tori & Dean: Inn Love.
Tell us: would you become an ordained minister to officiate a friend's wedding?

News Releases by Email
News Release
Wednesday, June 16, 2010
Media contact: Lee Schlesinger, 850-487-0554
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) spent Tuesday on a daylong fact-finding tour to get a first-hand look at how the Deepwater Horizon oil spill is affecting Northwest Florida's fish and wildlife.
Tuesday evening, commissioners hosted a public forum in Pensacola Beach to learn more about how the spill is affecting residents' livelihoods.
Commissioners took an aerial tour over Pensacola Bay and parts of the coast where they observed streamers of oil and sheen approaching Florida waters. They also saw the role the FWC is playing by providing more than 30 boats and several aircraft to spot oil and direct skimmer boats to trouble spots.
FWC commissioners also toured a Tri-State Bird Rescue and Research facility contracted by BP to rescue and rehabilitate oiled birds.
"We are pleased this facility has been established to rehabilitate wildlife but want to convey it's critical for animals to be quickly recovered once they have been reported," FWC Chairman Rodney Barreto said.
Oiled-wildlife should be reported by calling 866-557-1401.
Commissioner Brian Yablonski said the crisis calls for a bigger and faster response.
"We need a better response to oil in the water," Yablonski said. "Florida needs to get more and bigger skimmers to collect oil, and BP-contracted vessels must move more quickly to collect and control oil in the water."
At the 5 p.m. meeting, commissioners heard staff reports about FWC working closely with stakeholders and partners to manage Florida's response to the crisis.
Commissioners and staff took note of comments about the BP claims process to compensate people and businesses hard hit by direct oil impacts and damages resulting from a mistaken perception of widespread oil impacts to Florida.
"The first line of support is through the BP claims office at 800-440-0858," FWC Executive Director Nick Wiley said. "Small business loans are an important asset, too, and businesses can get disaster assistance through the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA)."
"Low-interest loans can be processed quickly," SBA's Mark Randle told commissioners.
People can contact the SBA Disaster Assistance Customer Service Center at 800-659-2955 or email@example.com.
The FWC will continue to support Florida's emergency response team and the incident command to monitor and respond to developments.
The FWC's next regular meeting will be June 23-24 in Lake Mary near Orlando.
FWC Facts:Florida bass build nests for spawning and protect their young until they reach about 1 inch in size.

Exploring "Ballroom Culture" in Detroit
What is "Ballroom Culture"? Well, a surface definition might be a culture that centers on a competition where black LGBT individuals dress, dance and vogue - competing for prizes and trophies.
But there is more to Ballroom Culture as my next guest spells out in his new book "Butch Queens Up In Pumps: Gender, Performance and Ballroom Culture in Detroit."
Marlon Bailey is an Associate Professor of Gender Studies and American Studies at Indiana University. And he brings another perspective to his writing -- that of a black gay man who grew up in Detroit and who was deeply involved in Ballroom Culture.
Listen to the interview above.

By Jeffr, posted: Dec 12Dealing with Virgin is like pulling teeth. They ignore emails, you spend ages on the phone listening to music on hold, they change your tarrif without notification & cannot provide a reasonable basic service of a working handset. See my letter of complaint below, sent twice, & ignored completely. Job No VM024****, tel no 07758 ****** I am writing to complain about the handling of 'organising' repair/replacement of my son's Samsung Galaxy S2. This phone is on a pay monthly contract. 1) The phone was offered as part of a contract upgrade in July 2012. As such, it was therefore recommended by Virgin as a being suitable handset & is only 5 months old. 2) A few days ago, the phone began to behave erratically, showing indication that it was connected to a charger when it wasn't, not recognising being connected to a power supply when it was recharging, proving difficult to switch on or off & generally not responding to the touch pad. 3) A quick check on the internet reveals that these problems are very common with this model phone. Further, it is also common that when returned to Samsung for repair, the fault is diagnosed as water damage, which many users believe to be spurious. Many owners are left faced with the choice of a large repair bill or no phone, even though they are quite convinced that the handsets have never been in contact with water. 'Atmospheric conditions' is just a poor excuse for poor product design. 4) My son takes great care of his phone & needs it as part of his job since he is 'on call', working odd hours, hence the reason for my involvement. This phone is not used & abused, it is virtually cherished. Being without the phone is a real inconvenience & should be unnecessary if Virgin are as good as their advertising claims. 5) His call to report the fault (a known, common fault on a handset that is actively promoted by Virgin) has resulted in the above job number & the insistence from Virgin operatives that the handset be returned for repair, not replacement, leaving him without a phone for several days. For such a new phone, this 'service' cannot be acceptable when virtually every other consumer product on the market would be handled by a straight, no quibble replacement. 6) Virgin has but one part to play in this competitive mobile phone market - provide a service with a working phone. It should be that simple. As a provider of handsets, any legal consumer law responsibility for them being 'fit for purpose' lies with Virgin, not the PHONE manufacturer. Virgin effectively is the 'retailer'. 7) Being without a phone cannot be a normal part of the pay monthly contract agreement. A contract is an agreement between two parties, Virgin & the consumer, so if Virgin Mobile cannot provide its the one prime function, a servicable product to its clients, they have failed in their part of the contract. 8) If the phone is sent for repair, then the client has lost all opportunity for reasonable & fair negotiation. The manufacturer has total control, has the phone & can make whatever demands they chose - they are judge, jury & possible executioner all in one. 9) The returns documentation makes mention of possible postal loss resulting in up to 45 days for the postal claims process. This suggests the possibility of being without a phone for weeks, which however remote a possibility, is a nonsense. 10) Trying to speak to & deal with your operatives via a voice call is a frustrating ordeal. Incessant automated menus, only to be placed on hold, being told that "We are exceptionally busy" whatever the time of day the call is placed is simply being understaffed & poor customer service, nothing more. It is very poor customer service when the phrase should express a quality standard, not just a department title. To be a successful business, it must surely be the aim to excel, not just be adequate or average, be better than the rest, not 'just the same'. Your operatives follow restrictive guidelines that do little to aid the client whilst playing to Virgin's own advantage. It is not acceptable to be without a phone whilst this faulty, Virgin recommended, handset is repaired, especially when all control over the outcome is lost. It should be more than possible to supply a replacement, just as easily as they are so readily offered when there is the possibility of a contract renewal. A failure to do so is a failure to provide a phone service that is fit for purpose & a failure under the Sale of Goods Act. As such, any breach of contract is on the part of Virgin, not the user. It should also be noted that Distance Selling Regulations allow the user a cooling off period for any decision involving the provision of a service or product, so a lack of acceptance of a repair should not be seen as any problem.. I would therefore like to see an offer of a new, replacement handset being sent out before any return of the old, so that some sort of continued phone service is made available. On receipt of a new handset, we would then gladly return the old, faulty handset, at our own cost, on a postal service that provides proof of receipt, so that this can be returned to Samsung. Given the sheer volume of handsets that must pass through Virgin, this is not an unreasonable or expensive request & may well go some way to restoring our faith in Virgin & providing real customer service, not a second best, take the client for granted, poor alternative. This letter should be seen as a chance to excel. If this cannot happen, we have to consider voting with our feet & changing provider, as we truly consider that any contract breach lies with Virgin. Yours faithfully,

Newman wins pole at New Hampshire
Ryan Newman waves to fans after qualifying for Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup auto race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Friday, Sept. 20, 2013, in Loudon, N.H. Newman won the pole. (AP Photo/Mary Schwalm) |
LOUDON, N.H. (AP) — Ryan Newman used a track-record lap to fuel his run at a championship.
Newman set the New Hampshire Motor Speedway qualifying record with a lap of 136.497 mph to win the pole and headline a top 12 loaded with Chase drivers for Sunday's race.
Chase for the Sprint Cup championship drivers filled 10 of the top 12 spots Friday. Kasey Kahne was second and joins Newman on the front row, Jeff Gordon was third and Kurt Busch fourth for what will be the second Chase race.
Joey Logano qualified sixth, Kevin Harvick was eighth, series points leader and last week's winner Matt Kenseth was ninth, and Greg Biffle starts 10th. Jimmie Johnson is 11th and Kyle Busch 12th.
Martin Truex Jr. starts fifth the same week he found out NAPA was dumping sponsorship of his Michael Waltrip Racing No. 56 car after the race-fixing attempts at Richmond earlier this month.
"This is definitely not the time of year you want to find out that you really don't have a ride next year," Truex said. "It's going to be tough, but we'll have to deal with it and figure it out."
Truex did qualify for the Chase with NAPA last season, finishing 11th in points, and was in contention for the final Chase wild card berth at Richmond while driving with a broken wrist.
He got a new cast this week and still doesn't know if he'll need surgery at the end of the season.
The Chase moves on Sunday to New Hampshire, where NASCAR has a 13-driver championship field for the first time since the title-deciding format began in 2004.
Newman is eighth in the standings, certainly within striking distance of Kenseth. He won his second pole of the season and 51st in 432 career Cup races. Newman won from the pole this season at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Newman, who is leaving Stewart-Haas Racing for a 2014 ride with Richard Childress, has three career wins at New Hampshire.
"This track is the birthplace of track position," he said. "It is really difficult to pass. Having a good pit selection, having all those things we've had to many times before (helps). Last time we were on the pole here, we led a lot of laps and won. I'm hoping we can duplicate that again."
The rest of the Chase field saw Clint Bowyer start 16th and Dale Earnhardt Jr. 17th. Earnhardt is 13th in the Chase standings and was disgusted on the grid after his poor lap.
"The car just hadn't been turning well and the front end is a bit of a handful," he said.
NASCAR would love for the talk of the sport to return to racing and the Chase and not the scandal that rocked the sport. NASCAR took the unprecedented step of adding Gordon as a 13th driver and booted Truex from the field.
Gordon, a four-time champion, was sixth in Chicago and has four straight top-10 finishes to work his way up to seventh in the standings.
"We are in it and we want to show everyone why we are in it," Gordon said. "I think we had the last three races leading into Chicago. We were pretty good, but previously in the season we just have had our struggles. We have had missed opportunities and it's hard to always put your finger on what exactly has caused those things."

Fernando's Thoughts on Texas State
Why Texas State
I chose Texas State for its reputation of preparing well-trained teachers since 1903, plus it is close to my hometown. I felt this university would give me the opportunity to become a great teacher and learn to be an independent person while maintaining closeness with my family. Also, when I walked onto the campus for the first time, its peaceful environment welcomed me home.
Why Studio Art
Since I was a child, I have had an appreciation for art, and I always have been encouraged by my teachers to pursue a career in the art field. I have learned that teachers have the privilege of directing, motivating and inspiring young adults to become successful. I believe that through art I can teach students a different way to present themselves to the world, as well as alleviate difficulties in life and learn about themselves.
Favorite Professor
My ceramics professor, Michel Conroy. Her assignments challenged me to become a better artist. Throughout the course, she supported, encouraged and inspired me toward constant improvement. She is a great instructor, role model, mentor and professional.
Valuable Learning Experience
I learned to take advantage of the free resources offered on campus. After my freshman semester, I had a less-than-desirable GPA, but after taking advantage of Student Support Services and the Counseling Center, my GPA rose dramatically. I believe that because of this learning experience, I have succeeded both academically and personally. I have become a well-rounded student.
Best Studying Advice
Learn to manage your time, do not procrastinate and find the time of day when you are most energetic. Recognize the things that distract you and intentionally avoid them.
My Clubs and Organizations
Ceramic Art Student Association
National Art Education Association
Alpha Omega Campus Ministry
Senior Resident Assistant in the
Department of Housing and Residential Life
Texas State Mentoring Program
Favorite Campus Dining Hall
The Lair, because of its wide selection of food choices such as sandwiches, pizza and ethnic foods.
What I Like Most about Texas State
What I like most is the atmosphere created by the good energy from the student body and the environment. Everyone I have come across is friendly, and the campus is beautiful.
What I Tell Future Texas State Students
There is a place for every person at Texas State. You will feel welcome, at home and pleased that you chose this university.

Islamic extremism

Islamic extremism refers to two related and partially overlapping but also distinct aspects of extremist interpretations and pursuits of Islamic ideology:
- an extremely conservative view of Islam,[1] which doesn't necessarily entail violence even though it may have an emphasis on Jihad;[2] see Islamic fundamentalism, and
- the use of extreme tactics such as bombing and assassinations for achieving perceived Islamic goals;[3] see Jihadism.
- see also Islamic terrorism.
Zeyno Baran, Senior Fellow and Director of the Center for Eurasian Policy at the Hudson Institute, argues Islamist extremism is a better term, to distinguish the political ideology from the religion.[4]

The Eclipse Modeling Framework Technology (EMFT) project exists to incubate new technologies that extend or complement EMF. For IP log information see the IP Log.
Mint is a component in the Eclipse Modeling Framework Technology (EMFT) project whose goal is to improve out-of-the-box Java developer experience when writing EMF-based software. This is accomplished by extending Java Development Tools (JDT) with EMF-specific enhancements. The initial contribution consists of the following features:
1. A Java search participant searches GenModels (the *.genmodel files) in the requested scope and reports any references to the searched Java types or packages. Typically, the EMF code generator produces a number of classes for each element in the GenModel. For instance, there are classes that are generated for the model (e.g., edit and editor plug-in classes), for each package in it (e.g., AdapterFactory, Switch, ItemProviderAdapterFactory, etc.), as well as each class (e.g., interface, implementation class, item provider, test cases, etc). This feature allows you to find GenModel(s) responsible for generating the given package, class, or interface.
2. Several menu actions are added to the GenModel Editor's context menu to allow the user instant access to generated artifacts (GenModel editor is the default editor used to edit *.genmodel files). For instance, right-clicking a GenClass node allows you to open the corresponding generated interface and implementation classes, as well as the item provider and test case, if any. Similar actions are available at the package level (GenPackage). At the model level (GenModel), it is possible to open the foreign model used as the source of the GenModel, if it is a local file.
3. A Java element decorator highlights EMF-generated types, methods, and fields in structured viewers, such as the Content Outline or Package Explorer. That is, all code marked as@generated
in its Javadoc comment is displayed in different
color (blue is the default). Code that is explicitly marked as @generated NOT
is also highlighted using a different color (red is the default). Both colors
are user-configurable using the Preferences dialog (under Java -> Appearance
-> EMF-generated Code Decorator).
The goal of this feature is to provide the developer with instant feedback as to which parts of the code being viewed are EMF-generated and which parts have been explicitly customized. This is particularly useful when navigating large models (with potentially many customizations) in team environment.
4. Similarly, Java structure viewers (such as Java Editor's Content Outline or Package Explorer)
can be customized with three additional filters that hide methods and fields
whose Javadoc comments contain @generated
or @generated NOT
tags, or don't have either one.
5. Java Editor's context menu sports a "Customize EMF-Generated Method" action. This action simply creates a "*Gen" copy of the selected methods and marks the originals as "@generated NOT". Initially, these methods delegate to their respective "*Gen" versions but may be further customized as necessary.
Mint requires Eclipse 3.3, EMF 2.3, and Java 5 to run.
More information is available on Mint's wiki page.
Lead: Peter Nehrer
The Ecore Tools component provides a complete environment to create, edit and maintain Ecore models. This component eases handling of Ecore models with a Graphical Ecore Editor and bridges to other existing Ecore tools (Validation, Search, Compare, Emfatic, generators...). The Graphical Ecore Editor implements multi-diagram support, a custom tabbed properties view, validation feedbacks, refactoring capabilities... The long-term goal is to provide the same level of services as does JDT for Java.
EMF Search will provide the fundamental infrastructure and components for search queries on EMF based models. A particular focus will be made on integration with the Eclipse Core Search API for end user tight integration.
Emfatic is a language designed to represent EMF Ecore models in a textual form. The Emfatic project provides a feature-rich text editor for the Emfatic language, and tools for generating Ecore models from Emfatic file as well as Emfatic files from Ecore models.
This project aims at giving another way to improve the EMF model creation phase by providing new services dedicated to editing and using more appealing editing elements. The way to obtain these services and elements is based on a generative approach similar to the EMF.Edit one. The framework provides advanced editing components for the properties of EMF elements and a default generation based on standard metamodels using these components. The generic generators create a standard architecture with advanced graphical components to edit EMF model objects.
The purpose of EGF is to provide an extensible generation framework in order to support complex, large-scale and customizable generations.
The Modeling Workflow Engine (MWE) is an extensible framework for the integration and orchestration of model processing workflows.
EMF Index is an extensible framework for indexing EMF-based models and instances. It includes components for collection index data, persisting index data and querying without loading any EMF resources.
Teneo is a database persistency solution for EMF using Hibernate or EclipseLink. It supports automatic creation of EMF to Relational Mappings. EMF Objects can be stored and retrieved using advanced queries (HQL or EJB-QL).
Teneo has graduated to Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF).
The Texo project provides annotation driven code generation for server-side web application environments. At runtime Texo supports XML/XMI persistence and runtime model access. JSON serialization and automatic JPA persistence are under development. For documentation visit the Texo wiki. To download Texo visit the Download & Install page.
CDO is both a technology for distributed shared EMF models and a fast server-based O/R mapping solution.
CDO has graduated to Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF).
Net4j is an extensible client-server system based on the Eclipse Runtime and the Spring Framework.
Net4j has graduated to Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF).
EMF4Net tries to provide a EMF core runtime for the .Net platform and a C# code generation facility. EMF4Net should enable the generation of C# code from existing Ecore models and allow to use that code in a similar way the Java code generated by EMF can be used today.
With JCR Management (JCRM) you can back EMF with JCR implementations. This way you can combine the strength of the Eclipse modeling projects with the scalability, features and exchangeability of the JCR repositories.
You can find out more at the wiki.
Looking for an old EMFT project? The following projects graduate as part of Ganymede:
Dec 16th, 2008 - The long-awaited sequel, EMF: Eclipse Modeling Framework, 2nd Edition is available. Free online version with book purchase.
Jun 4th, 2008 - Teneo, CDO, and Net4j graduate to Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) as part of the Ganymede Release Review.
Jun 7th, 2007 - JET Editor has been merged into M2T-JET.
Apr 26th, 2007 - JET has moved to Model To Text (M2T).
