+
== Requirements  ==
+
 
+
To use the plug-in you need:
+
 
+
*JDK 1.5 or above
+
*Eclipse Helios (Version: 3.6)
+
*Modeling plug-ins = EMF, JET, Acceleo, QVTo, ATL.
+
 
+
== Install MoDiscoWorkflow  ==
+
 
+
=== Sources ===
+
You will find a version of this plug-in in [http://dev.eclipse.org/viewsvn/index.cgi/plugins/trunk/org.eclipse.gmt.modisco.workflow/?root=Modeling_MODISCO the SVN repository].
+
 
+
Connection parameters to the SVN repository: [[MoDisco/SVN]].
+
 
+
Here are deployment instructions :
+
 
+
* Import the project in your workspace using a SVN client.
+
* Use the "export" menu to export this project as a plug-in (Deployable plug-ins and fragments) in your Eclipse installation. Don't forget to choose the "Package plug-ins as individual jar archives" option.
+
* Re-start your Eclipse to take this plug-in into account.
+
 
+
 
+
=== Runtime  ===
+
 
+
You could download it or use the update manager. [http://www.eclipse.org/gmt/modisco/downloads/ See more ...]
+
 
+
=== Dependencies errors  ===
+
 
+
Because MoDisco Workflow has a driver mechanism to manage external components, each driver has a dependency to one handled component. To install a dedicated driver properly, the handled component shall have been installed. It is a reason why when you click on the "Install..." button, you can have dependency errors. In that case, you could install the missing packages at the origin of the errors or deselect the dedicated driver. Then restart the installation process.
+
 
+
[[Image:-MoDiscoWorkflow-ErrorDependency.png|thumb|center|640×599px|Example of dependencies errors]]
+
 
+
If you didn't have dependency errors, click on the "Finish" button. The installation of the MoDiscoWorkflow plug-in and its selected drivers is finished. Congratulations!
+
 
+
== Build your MoDiscoWorkflow  ==
+
 
+
=== The user interface of MoDiscoWorkflow  ===
+
 
+
To reach the MoDiscoWorkflow plug-in user interface, you have to click on this button [[Image:-MoDiscoWorkflow-Execution.png]] and then click on the “Run Configuration” menu.
+
 
+
[[Image:-MoDiscoWorkflow-PluginCentral.png|thumb|center|924×678px|User interface of MoDiscoWorkflow]]
+
 
+
You can now build your MoDiscoWorkflow. Various properties are proposed to you:
+
 
+
*Add a MoDiscoWork in the MoDiscoWorkflow from the “New…” button
+
*Edit a MoDiscoWork from the “Edit…” button
+
*Remove a MoDiscoWork from the “Remove” button
+
*Move a MoDiscoWork up in the MoDiscoWorkflow using the “Up” button
+
*Move a MoDiscoWork down in the MoDiscoWorkflow using the “Down” button
+
*Load a MoDiscoWork in the MoDiscoWorkflow from the “Load…” button
+
 
+
=== Create a MoDiscoWork  ===
+
 
+
After having clicked on the "New..." button, you must choose the type of transformation you want to add. According to the installed drivers, you have more or less choice.
+
 
+
[[Image:-MoDiscoWorkflow-New.png|thumb|center|400x400px|Choice of transformation type]]
+
 
+
After choosing the type of MoDiscoWork, click on the "Next" button to configure your transformation. For the example, we have chosen "Transformation Java". Now, you can configure your MoDiscoWork of java type as you do usually in main dialog of launch configuration. Finally, the new configuration will be created and added in list of launch configurations and in current MoDisco workflow.
+
 
+
=== Edit a MoDiscoWork  ===
+
 
+
To edit a MoDiscoWork, click on the “Edit…” button after selecting the desired MoDiscoWork. A new wizard opens to configure the selected MoDiscoWork as you do usually in main dialog of launch configuration.
+
 
+
=== Remove a MoDiscoWork  ===
+
 
+
[[Image:-MoDiscoWorkflow-RemoveMoDiscoWorkflow.png|thumb|center|400x270px|Remove a MoDiscoWork from the MoDiscoWorkflow]]
+
 
+
To remove a MoDiscoWork, you must select a MoDiscoWork in the MoDiscoWorkflow and click on the "Delete" button. A new window opens proposing these various choices:
+
 
+
*"Delete from launcher": To delete the MoDiscoWork selected in the MoDiscoWorkflow and its associated launcher.
+
*"Delete from workflow": To delete the MoDiscoWork selected in the MoDiscoWorkflow
+
*Cancel: To cancel
+
 
+
=== Load a MoDiscoWork  ===
+
 
+
[[Image:-MoDiscoWorkflow-Load.png|thumb|center|200x200px|Load a MoDiscoWork]]
+
 
+
When you want to load a launcher (MoDiscoWork) in the MoDiscoWorkflow, click on the "Load…" button. A new window opens proposing every launcher present in the workspace which has a driver defined for the type of launcher. To load a MoDiscoWork, select a launcher and click on the “Finish” button.
+
 
+
=== Run your MoDiscoWorkflow  ===
+
 
+
When you finished building your MoDiscoWorkflow, click on the “Run” button. An error window opens if one or more MoDiscoWork are not valid. Every MoDiscoWork must be valid to run the MoDiscoWorkflow.
+
 
+
== Create a driver for MoDiscoWorkflow  ==
+
 
+
=== "driver" extension point  ===
+
 
+
[[Image:-MoDiscoWorkflow-ArchiPointExtensionDriver.png|thumb|center|"driver" extension point architecture]]
+
 
+
The MoDiscoWorkflow plug-in proposes an extension point named "driver". This extension point contains a sequence one..one of "driverUI" extension point and "execution" extension point. '''The "id" field is required'''. It allows binding both extension points.
+
 
+
===="driverUI" extension point====" This extension point defines:
+
 
+
*A field name: This name will be used to the list of transformation types.
+
*A field icon: It’s driver icon path.
+
*A field class: The class has to implement this interface: "org.eclipse.gmt.modisco.workflow.DriverInterface".
+
 
+
==== "execution" extension point  ====
+
 
+
This extension point defines:
+
 
+
*A field class: The class has to implement this interface: "org.eclipse.gmt.modisco.workflow.ExecutionInterface"
+
 
+
=== Papyrus driver example  ===
+
 
+
In this example, we are creating a new driver for launcher of papyrus. Follow these steps:
+
 
+
*Create a new plug-in project
+
*Name this project "org.eclipse.gmt.modisco.driver.papyrus"
+
*Add the "com.cea.papyrus.extensionpoints.transformation" plug-in to the list of plug-ins required for the operation of this plug-in (dependencies)
+
*Create a class ("LaunchDriverPapyrus.java") which implements the interface "org.eclipse.gmt.modisco.workflow.DriverInterface" (below).
+
*Create a class ("TransformationExecute.java") which implements the interface "org.eclipse.gmt.modisco.workflow.ExecutionInterface" (below).
+
*Add a new extension named "org.eclipse.gmt.driver"
+
*Name the "id" field of extension point "idPapyrus"
+
*For the "driverUI" point extension:
+
**Name the "name" field "Papyrus Generation"
+
**Indicate the papyrus icon's path in the plug-in
+
**Indicate the class which implements the interface "org.eclipse.gmt.modisco.workflow.DriverInterface"
+
*For the "execution" point extension:
+
**Indicate the class which implements the interface "org.eclipse.gmt.modisco.workflow.ExecutionInterface"
+

+

The "com.cea.papyrus.extensionpoints.transformation.launchConfigurationType" string is the papyrus launcher type. The launcher type is present in the ".launch" file. This file is created during the creation of a new launcher of this type

<source lang="java">

package org.eclipse.gmt.modisco.workflow.driver.papyrus.execution;

import org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException;

public class TransformationExecute implements ExecutionInterface {

@Override

public void launch(ILaunchConfigurationWorkingCopy configuration, ILaunch launch) {
+
try {
+
LaunchTransformationDelegate delegate = new LaunchTransformationDelegate();
+
delegate.launch(configuration,ILaunchManager.RUN_MODE, launch,new NullProgressMonitor());
+
} catch (CoreException e) {
+
e.printStackTrace();
+
}
+
}
+
}
+
</source>
+
 
+
It is necessary to use the delegate to execute the configuration.
+
 
+
== Current limitations  ==
+
 
+
Right now, it's not possible to bind the parameters between components. Furthermore, the workflow is executed in a sequential way.
+
 
+
== Wishlist  ==
+
 
+
*Use the engine of MWE to launch a workflow.
+
*Use the last version of MWE in MoDiscoWorkflow.
