4. Xtext and GEF deliver editors for OSEE | © 2010 by Boeing; made available under the EPL v1.0 OSEE Types Definition  Central to OSEE is a shared data model  Previously the data model was extended by adding custom OSEE types defined in Excel spreadsheets  New approach utilizes Xtext to generate an Eclipse editor that supports a domain specific language for defining OSEE types

6. Xtext and GEF deliver editors for OSEE | © 2010 by Boeing; made available under the EPL v1.0 Weaknesses of Previous Approach  No syntax or semantics checking  Issues not found until runtime  Poor readability  No navigation support  No auto-complete  Limited visual clues  Required awkward sax parsing  Not stored using an open source format  Not integrated with Eclipse

8. Xtext and GEF deliver editors for OSEE | © 2010 by Boeing; made available under the EPL v1.0 ATS Workflow Configuration  Action Tracking System provides integrated change management in OSEE  Workflow configuration previously done in Visual Understanding Environment (VUE)  The Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) supports the creation of 2D graphical editors for Eclipse  OSEE now uses GEF to create a specialized workflow configuration editor
