Luna Release Review - EMF Compare 3.0

Release Review : May 2014

Communication Channel : eclipse.modeling.emf newsgroup

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

Though 3.0 is a major release, there are very few breakages as compared to last year's 2.1 version. The small number of API breaks are all localized in the UI code and not used as far as we know. The EMF Compare team will swiftly answer inquiries regarding these breakages on the official communication channels.

All mehods and classes that face deletion have been marked as deprecated with instructions on how to switch to the new behavior, and will stay in the code base until the next release.

Non-Code Aspects

Continuous Integration

Project is built from the EMF Compare HIPP through Tycho. A nightly is built once a day if the SCM polling sees a change from the last build.

Unit Tests

1103 unit tests launched on every build.

Code coverage is about 70% of the core.

Code Quality

Common formatter and compiler configuration used throughout the whole project's plug-ins.

Checkstyle activated on most distinct plug-ins.

Eclemma used on a regular basis to ensure and improve code coverage from the unit tests.

Yourkit java Profiler used on a regular basis to improved performances and avoid bottlenecks.

Findbugs launched on a regular basis to avoid detectable bugs.

Javadoc represents about 40% of the java source code.

An analysis of the code base is available on [1].

APIs

Metamodel definitions and interfaces are considered APIs.

Commitment to provide stand-alone comparison feature (Jar that can be used without Eclipse with minimal to no dependencies towards eclipse core Jars).

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

Non-API packages are exported with an internal visibility so that they remain visible but with a discouraged access warning.

Documentation

All of the documentation for EMF Compare is available online at [2]. It will be completed and extended with tutorials as the version matures.

Bugzilla

Here is a snapshot taken on May the 16th of all bugs that have changed since release 2.0.0 (Juno). These figures are subject to change until the official release of 2.1.0 as the Team is currently in the process of fixing bugs.
