An Eclipse package is an Eclipse distribution dedicated to a specific type of task.footnote:[The notion of an Eclipse package has nothing to do with Java packages.]
A list of packages is available at https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/[eclipse.org].
Beside others it contains _Eclipse IDE for Java Developers_, _Eclipse IDE for Scientific Computing_, and _Eclipse Modeling Tools_.
Note that third parties offer many other packages, e.g. _GAMA_ for multi-agent-simulation or _Obeo Designer Community_ for creating diagram and form editors. This is the package we will use later.

We get to know _Eclipse Modeling Tools_ and created a graphical Ecore data model with one catalog class and five classes/types of domain objects therein.
Classes have been defined by name, attributes, and relationships between them, often with cardinalities.
Whenever classes shared some attributes or relationships we factored these out into super classes.
An enumeration introduced a new attribute type as a set of named values.
