What is the relationship of EMF to JMITM?
JMI (JavaTM Metadata Interface) is a mapping of the OMG MOF 1.4 to the Java language developed by the Java Community Process. The JMI spec and the Eclipse EMF model to Java mapping were developed in parallel and are not the same. The Eclipse EMF Java mappings have been optimized for in memory tool integration using Java and XML while JMI has been optimized for metadata repository usage scenarios. Eclipse EMF designers are actively involved in the ongoing development of MOF 2.0 and related mappings to XML and Java that are expected to proceed in the OMG and Java Community Process respectively.
