<cheatsheet title="Generating an EMF Model from Annotated Java">

  <intro href="/org.eclipse.emf.doc/tutorials/clibmod/clibmod.html">
    <description>
      This cheat sheet is a step-by-step description of how to generate an EMF
      model and editor from a set of annotated Java interfaces.

  <item title="Set up the environment">
  	<description>
  	  Your environment must be set up before you can perform the steps in this cheat sheet.
  	  <br /><br />
  	  Delete or rename the following projects if they exist in your workspace: &quot;library.java&quot;, &quot;library.java.edit&quot;, &quot;library.java.editor&quot;.

      First, you must create a new &quot;library.java&quot; empty EMF project to house the annotated Java.

      Create the interfaces and class in the &quot;library.java&quot; project that describe the model.
      The model consists of three interfaces (&quot;Library&quot;, &quot;Writer&quot;, and &quot;Book&quot;) and
