Welcome fo the Feature Model DSL project!
Feature Model DSL makes it possible for you to design feature models using Visual Studio 2008 (and hopefully beyond). It is developed using the Microsoft DSL Tools.
Features:
The original design of the Feature Model DSL was proposed by
Gunther Lenz and Christoph Wienands in the
Practical Software Factories in .NET book. This project extends the idea to support Visual Studio 2008 and provides the following features:.
- Feature model modeling experience supported by an integrated Visual Studio experience, including visual designer, Toolbox and Properties Window.
- Feature model validation through Errors List toolbar.
- Cross-diagram navigation.
- HTML report automatically generated from feature model diagram.
- Export feature model diagram to .png file.
- (new) Configure feature model.
- (new) Open, save and validate feature model configuration.
- (new) Implement and launch custom actions to change the environment (IDE) according to the feature model configuration
- (new) Generate HTML reports for a single or multiple feature model configurations.
