Hello, I'm wondering if anyone here has had experiences with creating form-based DSLs in Eclipse which populate Ecore models? I was just wondering what the process would be Are there any form-based frameworks available which generate most of the presentation content from the ecore model (i.e. based on hints)?

I saw your post in "How MDA maps to Product Lines".

I have a specific interest (or role) in the Configuration Management and Build Management aspects of this. I work in a small software firm where we have introduced MDD, and are using it to do SPL (or trying to). Would be happy to discuss this further if your interested.
