Henshin 1.0 (Update)

8 years after the first PoC and 4 years after its official launch, we are proud to announce the release of Henshin 1.0 -- a model transformation language and framework for EMF. Henshin 1.0 is ready for Eclipse Luna and Java 8 (including its new JavaScript engine Nashorn). The primary domain of Henshin is model-driven development and formal verification methods. With its new multi-threaded pattern matching engine and its code generator for Apache Giraph, big data is a new third main domain of Henshin.

The new version of Henshin comes with an extended transformation language with support for specifying Java imports and annotations, and a couple of new utility APIs. Besides the changes under the hood, the 1.0 release also comes with a number of visible new features, including a reworked interpreter wizard and new preferences for the diagram editor. As an eye candy, we also added a new color mode for the diagram editor which goes well together with Luna's Dark theme.

You can obtain Henshin 1.0 from the release update site or clone our Git repo to try it out!

Update from 30-07-2014

And of course we've build a critical bug into the release! Anyway, the fixed version is available at the release update site.
