[Eclipse] about EMF

EMF (eclipse modeling framework) is always mysterious to me. First, this name is not very clear, because it is now a thing that can be called framework. In my opinion, EMF can be generated from the model.CodeBut it seems that this function is implemented by another component (JET), so where is the core of EMF, what issues are the development team thinking about and handling?

There have been several attempts to apply EMF to projects, because only by actual use can we find the value, and I have read many materials and examples, however, I did not find any special benefits for EMF. Instead, I added several steps when modifying the model. If I forget to delete the "@ generated" symbol code, there is a risk of overwriting, so they finally gave up.

I have to admit that I am interested in EMF because of the trend, but the fact is that in the eclipse world, EMF is becoming the foundation of more and more products. GMF (Graphical Modeling Framework) it's coming soon. We can see that this thing is really amazing, but I haven't found it yet. Should I spend time on it ......
