Detailed Summary
- Project background/History: Motorola is using Eclipse internally to develop code for various Linux based projects, internal tools and use of CDT.
- Project history: initial proposal June 2006, graduated to an official project in January 2007.
- Project goals: a more specialized, vertical project on top of CDT, covering issues related to mobile devices industry, which are not covered by CDT.
First priority of missing functionality is a simulation/emulation environment, like what we have with UEI ([[1]]) in the J2ME development world.
- Motivations for the emulator framework:
* support different types of emulators, e.g. QEmu, User-mode Linux; * general framework with a Linux-based reference implementation; * emulator framework is an abstract layer that can be used by different emulators.
- Other objectives of framework are
* screen interaction, * wireless toolkit including simulation of Bluetooth, * SMS network back-end etc.; * support to development of peer-to-peer applications; * abstract communication features away from emulators and simulate network infrastructure.
- Emulator framework based on extension points.
- Keep communicating with Symbian, Nokia, ARM, PalmSource.
- Invite more people to participate and define more use cases as well as review the existing ones.
- Have a good collection of use cases by the end of Q2 2007.
- Eclipse integration.
- Application packaging and interaction with the emulators.
- Two areas that need more effort but must be prioritised: (1) support for specific device chipsets, e.g. GPS, Bluetooth; inject GPS events by means of an Eclipse view etc.; (2) simulation of mobile phone network infrastructure.
- Commonalities between TmL proposal and CDT 4.0 regarding support to multiple toolchains and possible contribution to CDT instead of TmL.
- Keep in mind that TmL must support developers using both Linux and Windows hosts.
- Use cases will be posted in the wiki, but will be moved to CVS as soon as possible in order to keep a change history.
- The first priority is to have some code contributed, with a consistent API.
- Plans: have working code at the end of 2007 to catch Eclipse train in the summer 2008.
- TmL open meeting will happen every two weeks; for the time being it will be kept at the same time and day of week, but may be offset by a week due to a conflict with the TM committers call.
- Next open meeting: Tuesday 17 April, 8:00 am PDT (Pacific Daylight Time).
