MetaEdit+ 5.1 Improves Graphical Domain-Specific Modeling

MetaCase released a new, feature-rich version of its Domain-Specific Modeling and code generation tool, MetaEdit+®. MetaEdit+ 5.1 is aimed at expert developers who want to empower their team to generate efficient, complete code directly from domain-specific models.

The new version provides updates to editors making modeling faster with in-place editing, hierarchical property sheets, movable ports, and reconnecting existing model elements. Language engineers also get new features, such as read-only and hidden model elements, new constraints and generator functions. MetaEdit+ 5.1 offers integration mechanisms for version control tools like Git and SVN, and has plug-ins for IDE integration with Visual Studio and Eclipse.

Included in the new release are several new example languages and code generators. As always, domain-specific languages and generators made with earlier versions of MetaEdit+ update automatically to the new version.
