MoDisco/New And Noteworthy

MoDisco 0.9 (Indigo version)

Infrastructure

Facilitate development, reuse and usability of Discoverers

The discoverer framework has been refactored to satisfy new requirements, including major simplifications for adopters and developers: discoverers are now easier to define and call programmatically.

All existing discoverer implementations have been migrated to this new framework, and old discoverer implementations have been deprecated.

  • All discoverers now use a generic parameters dialog:

  • A new Discoverers view shows all registered discoverers:

  • There is now a Wizard to create Discoverers:

Please consult the related documentation for more details on new features.

Query Manager (new)

This new component provides a facade to evaluate queries against a model independently from the query mechanism. Implementations are provided to call queries written in Java, EMFQuery, OCL and XPath.

See Query Manager 0.8 Documentation

Facet Manager (new)

This new component provides a mechanism to dynamically extend model elements by adding "virtual" attributes and relations computed by queries.

See Facet Manager 0.8 Documentation

Java

This new version provides :

  • A generator to regenerate source code from the EMF model.
  • A "filter" field in the Discoverer's wizard to exclude packages from the source code analysis

See Java 0.8 New & Noteworthy

XML (new)

This new component provides an ECore definition of XML files and a discoverer to create corresponding EMF models from existing XML files.

See XML 0.8 Documentation
