Adapting FUJABA for Building a Meta Modelling Framework

The Real-Time Systems Lab performs research in the area forward engineering of automotive system software and reengineering of large industrial embedded systems in general. We need adequate CASE-tools to evaluate our approaches. These tools should be built on a shared meta modelling framework according to current standards (e.g. MOF 2.0, JMI, OCL, GXL). The FUJABA Tool Suite provides a substantial part of the required functionality (e.g. model editor, graph rewriting engine, Java code generator), but has to be adjusted to meet the standards. Currently, the necessary extensions can only be implemented by changing the FUJABA core, which is unsatisfactory. We would prefer to extract some FUJABA core functionality and distribute it over additional plug-ins. By doing so we could benefit from FUJABA for our meta modelling framework without compromising its present functionality.
