JWT MultipleViews

Running

What is needed?

• jwt-we (view_multiple branch)
• jwt-meta (in meta directory on CVS)

Support for Multiple View Data

Done

• Dimension & Location have been replaced by LayoutData
• One GraphicalElement can have multiple LayoutDatas (one for each view)
• LayoutData can be imported from another view or created using a layouting algorithm (from GEF Zest project)
• Configurable behavior (in preferences) if viewdata is missing
• LayoutData Wizard (button in toolbar next to view dropdown)

ToDo

• Syncronization of LayoutDatas between views (location in one view changes the location in other views)
• Additional layout algorithms better suited for workflows ([1]), maybe replace Zest to remove dependence

Sourcing out Meta-Model

Done

• Core Meta Model sourced out in own plugin (jwt-meta)
• Refactored View elements so that they reference the core elements but not the other way around
• Adjusted templates/code, regenerated model(s), transferred manually adjusted code into new providers
• ProviderRegistry allows to inject editor-specific properties (images, visibility, commands, model children) into the model
• Commands split into core and view commands
• Garbage collection executed on saving for removing unnecessary view data (References, ReferenceEdges, LayoutData)
• Included new ATL based converter

ToDo

• Adjust other Plugins
• Write transformation for old 0.5.0 files
• Regenerate model to see if everything works
• Remove GEF dependency from jwt-meta (affects CommandStack/Commands)
• Find nice icon for wizard in toolbar
• Adjust plugin.properties
• Import changes from head

Test

• Handling of reference edges (creating, deleting, copying, reconnecting, ...)
• Copy/Cut/Paste and Undo/Redo in different circumstances
• Deleting (is everything deleted, do errors occur?)
• LayoutData Wizard and multiple view data in general
• Drag'n'Drop (Outline -> Outline, Outline -> Editor)
• Insert Scope from Outline
• Template import/export
• Does everything work with multiple open editors (Singleton issues?)
