This page provides the required docuware for the MoDisco v0.9.0 Release Review, as part of the upcoming Indigo Simultaneous Release.
Contents
Overview
MoDisco stands for Model Discovery.
It provides a generic and extensible MDE framework to support different reverse engineering scenarios such as modernization, quality assurance, retro-documentation, architecture improvement, etc.
Thus, the focus of MoDisco is on Model Driven Reverse Engineering.
It is an Eclipse Model Development Tools (MDT) project, inside the Eclipse Modeling Project (EMP).

Non-Code Aspects
The complete MoDisco documentation is available from the MoDisco Wiki page:
- General documentation on the various components;
- Version specific information;
- Additional information on available use cases, as well as incubation and deprecated components.
The Help plugins are automatically generated from the content of the Wiki.

APIs
As this is the first time MoDisco is part of an Eclipse Simultaneous Release, there are no API related issues. TO BE CHECKED...
Architecture
The MoDisco architecture is detailed from http://wiki.eclipse.org/MoDisco/Architecture.
Testing & Packaging
MoDisco uses the Modeling Project Releng system to build and promote versions.
Each new build is tested at least with Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo).
Core plugins are provided with dedicated test plugins checking their valid behavior.
MoDisco is integrated into the Indigo Release Train since the beginning.
It is also part of the Amalgamation Modeling Package for Indigo.
Tool Usability
MoDisco is used for building Model Driven Reverse Engineering solutions to different scenarios such as:
- Legacy Modernization
- Quality Assurance
- Retro-documentation
- Architecture Improvement
- Etc
End-of-Life
No components from the MoDisco previous release builds (0.8.0) have been deprecated. TO BE UPDATED...

Standards
The MoDisco project is working in close collaboration with the OMG Architecture Driven Modernization (ADM) Task Force, which results in the EMF implementation of the Abstract Syntax Tree Metamodel (ASTM), Knowledge Discovery Metamodel (KDM) and Software Metrics Metamodel (SMM) specifications.
UI Usability
MDT MoDisco is conforming to the user interface guidelines.
