One of the thing we keep hearing from the adopters is : we need more doc, not just reference documentation but also how
using and combining the Eclipse Modeling components.

Richard Gronback's answer to these request was to write a book. But as we are living in a fast changing world
filled with innovation it quickly got outdated.
Reinaldo de Souza, a GSOC student did an amazing work
as part of the Amalgamation Project. He did prepare an awesome cross-modeling components tutorials : the design of
an Android DSL using Ecore, providing a textual syntax using XText, customizing EMF editors using EEF up to
generating the Android code using Acceleo.

It
is more than just a start, it really is a complete tutorial with step by step instruction on the wiki
and the corresponding projects one can import in his workspace.
The
original idea was to provide also tutorials and examples for GMF or Graphiti. It could not be done in
the timeframe but anybody wanting to continue the example with the same domain model using other
components is very welcome !
Now
we still have to package it properly so that the adopters can get it in a nicely integrated way in their
IDE.
