3.3 Release Review - Acceleo 3.3

Stephane Begaudeau (stephane.begaudeau@obeo.fr)

Release Review : May 22, 2012

Communication Channel : eclipse.modeling.m2t newsgroup

Process Documentation : http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/development_process.php

Project Plan : http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?planurl=http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/m2t/acceleo/plan-indigo.xml

3.3 Release Highlights

New and noteworthy

Performances

Performances improvements in the compilation and the tooling.

Improved compilation

The compiler has been restructured to fix long standing architectural limitations

New operations

New operations are available in the Acceleo non standard library (addAll, removeAll, etc)

New documentation

The documentation has been rewritten massively

UML to Java example

The popular example UML to Java has been updated for Eclipse Juno with a brand new version

Quality of APIs

The component lead certifies that the requirements for Eclipse Quality APIs have been met for this release. All non-API code is in "internal" packages.

End of Life Issues

The extension point for dynamic templates ("org.eclipse.acceleo.engine.dynamic.modules") is now deprecated. The extension point ("org.eclipse.acceleo.engine.dynamic.templates") now does the same job.

Committer Diversity

4 Committers from Obeo, and 2 individual committers.

IP Issues

The about files and use licenses are in place as per the Guidelines to Legal Documentation.

CQ 6308 - Twitter Bootstrap https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6308
CQ 6309 - JQuery https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6309
CQ 6310 - Guava Version: 10.0.1 https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6310

All other contributions (code, documentation, images, etc) have been committed by individuals who are either Members of the Foundation, or have signed the appropriate Committer Agreement. In either case, these are individuals who have signed, and are abiding by, the Eclipse IP Policy. The other contributions of the IP log are not significant or are written 100% by employees of the same employer (Obeo) as the Submitting Committer (http://www.eclipse.org/legal/EclipseLegalProcessPoster.pdf).

All contribution Questionnaires have been completed.

The "provider" field of each plugin is set to "Eclipse Modeling Project".

The "copyright" field of each plugin is set to the copyright owner.

Any third-party logos or trademarks included in the distribution (icons, logos, etc) have been licensed under the EPL.

The Acceleo IP log is located at http://www.eclipse.org/projects/ip_log.php?projectid=modeling.m2t.acceleo

Non-Code Aspects

Unit tests

2477 unit tests are launched every day.

Code coverage is about:

82.9 % of the traceability engine
80.6 % of the compiler
61.7 % of the code generation engine

Code quality

Checkstyle activated on each distinct plug-in.

Eclemma used on a regular basis to improve test coverage.

Yourkit used on a regular basis to improve performances.

Javadoc represents more than 42.9% of the Java source code.

An Ohloh page is available at http://www.ohloh.net/p/acceleo-eclipse/analyses/latest

APIs

Metamodel definitions and interfaces are considered APIs.

Commitment to provide stand-alone code generation.

Non-API classes are separated from the exposed API through an "internal" namespace.

API Tooling is activated on all plugins to mark exceptions within the exposed API.

Non-API packages are exported with an internal visibility as such they are visible but with an illegal access warning.

Documentation

The documentation that comes with Acceleo 3.3 is available in the Help menu : Acceleo Documentation.

Each document of the documentation set deals with a different aspect of mastering Acceleo:

There are an Overview, a tutorial available on this wiki, a description of all the available features, a guide detailling the Acceleo language, a list of the new features, an Acceleo/OCL operations reference to describe the Acceleo/OCL library, and a Text Production Rules document.

The main documentation are the language guide and the features guide because they fully describe each and every feature of Acceleo and its language.

Basic Examples are available in the example category : UML to Java, and Ecore to Python.

There is also an Acceleo portal on the Eclipse Wiki http://wiki.eclipse.org/Acceleo
