Domain-specific visual language editors are useful in many areas of software engineering but developing such editors is challenging and time-consuming. We describe an approach to generating a wide range of these graphical editors for use as plug-ins to the Eclipse environment. Tool specifications from an existing meta-tool, Pounamu, are interpreted to produce dynamic, multi-view, multiuser Eclipse graphical editors. We describe the architecture and implementation of our approach, examples of its use realizing domain-specific modelling tools, and strengths and limitations of the approach.
