Welcome to the **XGEE Tutorial**!  
In this guide, you will learn how to develop your own **XGEE-based application** and design a **custom editor** for your domain-specific model.

**Prerequisites**

Before you begin, it helps to have some basic familiarity with:

- **Eclipse Modeling Tools**
- **EMF Ecore meta-model**
- `Essential Object Query (EOQ) <https://gitlab.com/eoq>`_
- `jsApplication <https://gitlab.com/jsApplication>`_

Don’t worry even if you’re not an expert — this tutorial will guide you step-by-step.

**Part 1: Building and Modeling**

1. **Extending an Existing Editor** — Learn the fundamentals of XGEE modeling by enhancing an existing editor in Eclipse.  
   See: :doc:`modeling_with_xgee`
2. **Creating a Function Editor from Scratch** — Build your own function editor inside the XGEE example app.  
   See: :doc:`xgee_example_app`

**Part 2: Extending and Integrating XGEE**

1. **Extension Points** — Explore how XGEE can be extended with custom functionality.  
   See: :doc:`extending_xgee`
2. **Editor Integration** — Connect your own editor model into the XGEE runtime.  
   See: :doc:`editor_integration`
3. **Menu Integration** — Add and customize your own context menus.  
   See: :doc:`menu_integration`
4. **Managing Your Own XGEE Project** — Learn best practices for maintaining and evolving your editor project.  
   See: :doc:`own_xgee_project`


**Next step:** Continue with :doc:`modeling_with_xgee` to start modeling your first editor.
