Why and How We Should Use Graphiti to Implement PCM Editors

For the Palladio Component Model (PCM), performance engineers use graphical editors for specifying and composing components as well as usage scenarios and deployment environments. These editors are created with the Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF). The fact that GMF editors are widely considered as difficult to maintain and to customize raises the question whether it makes sense to migrate to...
