An iStar 2.0 Editor Based on the Eclipse Modelling Framework

During the search for a replacement of our outdated OpenOME editor to obtain a new editor for iStar 2.0, we became aware of certain tools from the Eclipse Modeling Project. These tools provide the possibility to build modern graphical editors in a convenient way with little programming overhead. They also meet our requirements for an editor which should be flexible in changing the metamodel of iStar and easy to extend. In this paper, we report on our quest to find an Eclipse modelling framework which makes it easy to create and adapt an up-to-date iStar 2.0 editor.
