Possible Synergies Between Eclipse Working Group
Modeling synergies between:

Implementer Companies
What is the view of implementer companies, their core expertise, what implementation can have a big impact on open source modeling next year, low hanging fruit, what are their current initiatives, etc.

  • Stephan Eberle, itemis update
    • Improvement in Xtext/Xtend 2.1
    • Xtend is now based on Xtext
    • Xcore is a new feature providing an ECORE textual syntax using Xtend as an action language. Driven by Ed Merks.
    • RMF: implements ReqIF in ECORE + a basic editor (going nevertheless beyond the default EMF tree editor).

End-User Companies Business Case Brainstorming
Review first version of Modeling slides for end user companies, identify additional benefits for end user companies in order to facilitate budget approval

  • Gaël Blondelle, Obeo, feedback from the Polarsys (OPEES) group

Improvements areas interesting for end user companies

  • Scalable logical model merge
  • Ability to connect to different physical repository technologies, e.g. Git,
  • Advanced, flexible and efficient code generation. Should be simple and efficient to do M2M and M2T transforms.
  • Good implementation of UML standard. Most tools implement some part well but skip others. MagicDraw is good reference tool to compare against.
  • UAL/ALF implementation
  • Team development capabilities across distributed models and repositories
  • Model Simulation capabilities
  • Trace and Debug capabilities connected to code generation feature
  • Stable and clean user interface. We don't want to see a lot of Eclipse noise.
  • Ability to work with fragmented models
  • Good performance on large model repositories.
  • Ability to import from existing tools without information loss. A huge bonus with be to preserve all diagram information.
  • Traceability with requirements and text cases
