Development of the media art contents authoring tool using eclipse-based GMF technique

Abstract

We introduce a media art contents authoring tool called ECAS (Exhibition Contents Authoring System), and methodology employed in its development. ECAS was developed using the graphical user interface to overcome difficulties with existing authoring tools that are text-based. For efficient implementation of graphical user interface, GMF (Graphical Modeling Framework) technique by Eclipse was used. SWT (Standard Widget Toolkit) and JIT (Just-In-Time) were used to improve speed and performance of ECAS. We show convenience and efficiency of ECAS by comparing with existing media art contents authoring tools.
