Release Review : June 11, 2010
Communication Channel : eclipse.technology.emft newsgroup
Process Documentation : http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/development_process.php
Overview
The modeling workflow engine (MWE) allows to wire up complex compiler or transformation chains. It is based on Java and dependency injection and is therefore highly extendable.
Based on a dependency injection framework, one can simply configure and wire up 'workflows' using a declarative domain-specific language. The project provides the runtime used to execute workflows as well as the IDE tooling used to edit, start and debug them.
Features
In this release MWE was completely overhauled. MWE2 is a concise textual DSL based on Xtext and provides deep integration with JDT. Also the runtime model has been slimmed down to the bare necessity to make it easier for users to leverage the framework and come up with own workflow components.
Non-Code Aspects
Documentation has been overhauled and extended.
Testing & Packaging
MWE makes use of the eclipse.org Hudson new continuous build system.
MWE is integrated into the Helios Release Train since Oktober 2009.
