=== Kepler Integration Strategy ===
  
 
'''NOTE''': The general strategy for implementing Kepler deliverables listed below will be integration of existing technologies from both Eclipse projects (e.g. Buckminster, PDE, ALF, Corona, EMFT, ECF, Phoenix, etc), and other open source community resources (e.g. Apache Maven, Bugzilla, Php, contributed new technologies, Continuum, Eclipse Wiki, etc).  The desire is to leverage as much of existing efforts as possible, avoid reimplementation and rework, and cooperatively use all available expertise and technology for '''Community Lifecycle Mangagement''' (you heard it hear first :).

=== Milestone 1 : Core Model Definition ===
 +
 
 +
==== EMF Models for the core model and base extensions ====
 +
 
 +
Provide the core schema for handling the storage of project meta-data. 
  
−
=== Milestone 1 ===
+
For more information on the core structure see [[Proposed_Kepler_Collaboration_Model_Structure]].
  
−
==== Headless Eclipse-Plugin and OSGi Builds ====
+
Also define a set of core project, version and artifact facets that can be used to capture common information.
  
−
* Build Eclipse plugin projects.  Support building multiple plugins with both internal and external dependencies, multiple features, deployable zip files, and update sites for a small but representative set of existing Eclipse projects.
+
==== Definition of meta-data around artifacts ====
  
−
** '''EXIT CRITERIA:''' BIRT, GEF, ECF projects (and others willing to participat) building deployable full-project plugins, features, zips, and update sites with existing technologies integrated-by-Kepler.
+
Provide a clearer definition around the artifacts side of the project model.  Understanding how to represent the artifacts (files) that are part of the project and are key to collaborating and consuming the project.
  
−
==== Common Project Model ====
+
==== Maven2 and PDE model adapters (integration with Buckminster) ====
  
−
* Define extensible initial Kepler project model API
+
Work with Buckminster to define how we can leverage their ability to parse different project types and gather project information that can be used in collaboration.
−
**Define initial scope of project model:  What to initially exclude?
+
−
**Define target scope of project model (i.e. in Kepler 1.0 timeframe):  What to eventually exclude?
+
−
* Read (at least) the following native Eclipse project files using existing APIs, and construct a runtime model instance in memory
+
−
** ''.project''
+
−
** ''.classpath''
+
−
** ''MANIFEST.MF''
+
−
** ''plugin.xml''
+
−
** ''feature.xml''

−
* Define Kepler native file format and schema, for capturing augmented model information not captured by the original project metadata files
+
−
* Support generating project metadata in one of many specific metadata formats, regardless of metadata origin
+
−
** Mark each generated metadata file as '''GENERATED''' in a header comment, to warn users against modifying it
+
−
** Mark original set of project metadata files as authoritative, plus kmodel-extras file

==== Build Management ====
+
==== Collaboration Model Viewer/Editor ====  
−
     
+
−
* Initial Framework to orchestrate external builds from Kepler using native Kepler project model.
+
  
−
<div id="Milestone 2"/>
+
Provide an Eclipse editor that can be used to create/view or edit a collaboration model.  The core editor will provide access to the core model,  through the use of extension points you will be able to register editor sections to represent different facets of the collaboration model.  This will allow people to create extensions to the editor when new facets are defined.

−
==== Headless Eclipse-Plugin and OSGi Builds ====
+
See [[Kepler_Collaboration_Model_Editor]]

Kepler Project Proposal

Proposed Schedule

NOTE: Notation 'd' signifies the date of Kepler project approval with EMO, since this will keep us from having a code repository, etc. @EF.

NOTE: This proposed schedule is DRAFT and subject to change based upon input from other participants about related project plans and schedules

Proposed schedule for Kepler milestones.
Milestone Start Date Target Date Comments
#Milestone 1 d + 1 week d + 7 weeks 1-week delay anticipated to get CVS, other infrastructure setup @EF.
#Milestone 2 d + 9 weeks d + 15 weeks 1-week delay expected to review/fix process using lessons from first dev cycle.
#Milestone 3 d + 16 weeks d + 22 weeks
#Milestone 4 d + 23 weeks d + 29

Notes and Conventions

  • This project should be divided into a series of relatively short milestones, each of which will trigger a new release of the Kepler project once completed. Milestones should be achievable in six weeks, plus or minus one week.
  • Files formatted using the (new) native Kepler project model syntax as kmodel-extension files, since they are meant to catch project metadata that cannot be stored in the original metadata files for the project.

Kepler Integration Strategy

NOTE: The general strategy for implementing Kepler deliverables listed below will be integration of existing technologies from both Eclipse projects (e.g. Buckminster, PDE, ALF, Corona, EMFT, ECF, Phoenix, etc), and other open source community resources (e.g. Apache Maven, Bugzilla, Php, contributed new technologies, Continuum, Eclipse Wiki, etc). The desire is to leverage as much of existing efforts as possible, avoid reimplementation and rework, and cooperatively use all available expertise and technology for Community Lifecycle Mangagement (you heard it hear first :).
