  • Defining a single annotation model
    Patent number: 8271942
    Abstract: The present invention defines a single Java annotation model. A method in accordance with an embodiment includes: receiving a Java annotation declaration in a Java annotation model; receiving a Java annotation definition in the Java annotation model; receiving domain specific context rules in the Java annotation model; and providing access to combined meta-data information derived from the Java annotation declaration, the Java annotation definition, and the domain specific context rules through the Java annotation model.
    Type: Grant

  • Populating information contained in java annotations into existing EMF models
    Patent number: 8214794
    Abstract: A core idea of the present approach is to provide a mapping format (and corresponding utility code for handling such mapping) that would allow the specification of mappings between parts of an EMF model and the corresponding Java annotations. Based on this mapping, the code in this framework utilizes generic EMF APIs to populate EMF model objects from information obtained in the Java annotations.
