Henshin uses Gerrit for handling code reviewing and merging. This implies specific processes when setting up the development environment and pushing changes.

Set-up

The following steps are for setting up the development environment based on eGit, Eclipse's git integration. Steps may vary if you don't want to use eGit.

  1. If you don't have one yet, generate a SSH RSA key pair: do ssh-keygen -t rsa in the git shell.
  2. Register your public key at https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/settings/ssh-keys
  3. Make sure your local git's committer e-mail address matches the one registered at https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/settings/contact
    • To view the local e-mail address, do git config user.email. An empty result means the e-mail address has not been set yet.
    • To change the local e-mail address, do git config --global user.email [your email address here]
    • In the same manner, you can view and change your committer name using the user.name environment variable.
  4. To ensure correct handling of line endings when using Windows, please use the following git configs: core.autocrlf=true and core.filemode=false. If you have dirty projects due to Windows line endings, try a hard reset after setting the config.
  5. In Eclipse, clone the Henshin repo using one of the update sites URLs (git, http, ssh) given in Gerrit. We recommend the following workflow:
    • For cloning the initial state of the repo, use the (read-only) git update site URL. Cloning the entire Repo via the SSH URL may lead to timeouts.
    • After cloning, change the repository location to the SSH URL (do git remote set-url origin <gerrit-url>, or use the eGit instructions)
  6. In the Git perspective, open the Repository: Remotes -> Right click on origin -> Gerrit Configuration... -> Finish.
  7. Follow the steps outlined in the next section.

Importing projects into your workspace and resolving dependencies

Henshin's codebase is divided into several plug-in projects with different responsibilies, for example:

  • Plug-in org.eclipse.emf.henshin.model: The meta-model
  • Plug-in org.eclipse.emf.henshin.diagram: The graphical editor
  • Plug-in org.eclipse.emf.henshin.interpreter: The interpeter
  • Plug-ins org.eclipse.emf.henshin.{edit,editor}: The tree-based editor


All plug-in projects are contained in the plugins folder in the root directory of our Git repo. Import the plug-ins you want to work on as Eclipse projects into your workspace. Depending on your selection, you may encounter various build errors. Resolve the missing dependencies as follows:

  • On build errors for org.eclipse.emf.henshin.diagram, use the Eclipse Marketplace (in Help menu) to install the Graphical Modeling Framework Tooling feature.
  • On build errors for org.eclipse.emf.henshin.giraph, use the Eclipse Marketplace to install the Maven Integration for Eclipse feature.
  • On build errors for the org.eclipse.emf.henshin.text projects, use the Eclipse Marketplace to install the Eclipse Xtext feature. On further build errors, trigger the Xtext generation process: navigate to org.eclipse.emf.henshin.text -> GenerateHenshin_text.mwe2, right click and do Run As -> MWE2 Workflow.
  • On build errors for org.eclipse.emf.henshin.text.transformation, use the Eclipse Marketplace to install the QVT Operational feature. Navigate to the Metamodel Mappings: right click the package org.eclipse.emf.henshin.text.transformation -> Properties -> Metamodel Mappings. There add mappings for org.eclipse.emf.henshin.model/model/henshin.ecore and org.eclipse.emf.henshin.text/model/generated/Henshin_text.ecore: Add -> Browse -> navigate to .ecore-file.
  • On build errors for org.eclipse.emf.henshin.interpreter.ui, org.eclipse.emf.henshin.multicda.cpa or org.eclipse.emf.henshin.text.transformation.tests, use the Eclipse Marketplace to install the EMF Compare feature.
  • On build errors for org.eclipse.emf.henshin.multicda.cpa, install the AGG Runtime from the Eclipse Orbit Update Site (Help -> Install new software -> Work with this URL and use the filter to find the AGG Runtime)

Pushing changes

After pushing a change, a corresponding entry on Gerrit has been created. Please invite (a subset of) the other committers as reviewers, doing this for all changes.
