Eclipse Galileo - A Quick Glance
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.
Join For FreeMost of the tools required from the inception to the delivery of software projects are included. You
can draw UML diagrams, you can generate code, you can create workflows,
you can generate parsers and models with a few lines of grammar. And all these are totally free.
Lets have a quick glance of some of the new projects offered in Galileo
TMF Xtext
Using
Xtext you can generate your own text editor for your domain specific
language. You can provide all the cool features like content assist,
syntax coloring, outline view etc.
You do not need to spend late
nights to write your own parser again. You do not need to design your
own model. Xtext will generate a parser and model for you. What you
need to do is to tell Xtext what it should do for you using a set of
grammar files.
For more information you can check at http://xtext.org/
PHP Development Tools (PDT)
This
is one of the main attractions of Galileo release - an IDE for the
development of PHP projects. The existing features of WTP (web tools
platform) and DLTK (Dynamic languages toolkit) are leveraged to develop
a great IDE for the PHP developers.
Rush to http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/ to catch up with the show.
Accessibility Tools Framework (ACTF)
ACTF
is a framework that will help developers to create functionalities
which will enhance the accessibility of applications and content for

EMFT > MWE (Modeling Workflow Engine )
With
MWE you can describe and execute workflows.The MWE is an extensible
framework for the integration and orchestration of model processing
workflows.
Check http://wiki.eclipse.org/Modeling_Workflow_Engine_(MWE) for more details.
Memory Analyzer ( MAT)
Now
you can find memory leaks and unnecessary memory consumption of your Java projects using MAT. You can create reports to analyse the memory
leak suspects.
Goto http://www.eclipse.org/mat/ to find more details.
Acceleo
Acceleo is part of the EMF 'Model to Text' projects. Based on the philosophy of MDA, it helps to generate code from your model.
Check http://wiki.eclipse.org/Acceleo
Xpand
One
more candidate from EMF 'Model To Text' projects. The aim of this
project is ... you guessed it. This is a language that is used for code
generation based on EMF models.
You can find the details at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Xpand
