Minutes
- M3 contributed to 2018-12
- 2 more 3-week feature cycles before RC phase
- 2.0.3 planned with a few bug fixes already marked for backporting
- MoDisco integration will be removed as there are no known users
- Generics in xform rule builder
N** ew create method and constructor added as short term workaround
- Decision: deprecate old method and constructor
- Concurrent modification exception
- Thrown when metamodel is only in target platform and there is a race condition with target platform updating
- Workarounds:
- Install metamodel in host
- Enable experimental target platform caching
- Disable Manifest.mf and plugin.xml generation
- No easy solution (internal Xtext and PDE behavior would need to be changed)
- PDE: not thread-safe plugin model retrieval
- Xtext: no way to control when it triggers target platform update
- Merging tooling.ui plugins (emf.ui, tooling.ui, tooling.ui.browser, migrator)
- New runtime.ui plugin to contain IModelConnector
- Sphinx: Balázs will look at Sphinx usage
