Abstract
Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) are mini-programming languages which enable their users to abstract from technical details and focus on business domain. DSLs can be used within a framework, i.e. platform for developing software applications. The paper presents such a framework called CDMM-F for building Java applications. The additional tools, prepared by the authors, support DSL definition. The constraints a DSL should fulfill to be CDMM-F compliant are thoroughly described in the paper, expressed in the form of the CDMM meta-meta-model and demonstrated in a case-study. The main advantage of proposed solution is meta-meta-model simplicity and high reusability of DSL elements. Once defined they can be connected in different configurations (contexts) according to the actual needs. The framework architecture that enables this feature is also presented.
