Farkitect
🤷

Forgive us! These docs are a work in progress. Some pages may be incomplete or describe features that aren't quite finished yet. Farkitect is in early development and we don't recommend using it for real work just yet. Feel free to explore — just be aware that things are still being built.

How to export for Eclipse EMF

Eclipse EMF (Eclipse Modeling Framework) uses the Ecore format for metamodels and XMI for model instances. Farkitect can export both.

Export

Section titled “Export”
  1. Click File > Export for Eclipse EMF…
  2. Choose a location and filename
  3. Click Save

The export produces two files:

  • .ecore — the metamodel definition (M2 content)
  • .xmi — the model instances (M1 content)

When to use Ecore export

Section titled “When to use Ecore export”
  • Validating your metamodel in Eclipse EMF tooling
  • Using Farkitect-designed metamodels in EMF-based code generation pipelines
  • Interoperability with Eclipse-based modelling tools (Sirius, Xtext, Acceleo)
