OCL/New and Noteworthy/2019-09

Eclipse OCL New and Noteworthy items for the 2019-09 (6.9.0) release.

Release Overview

This minor release fixes a few bugs and provides enhanced extensibility for OCL-based applications such as QVT

Eclipse versions

The prevailing Eclipse OCL release candidate is auto-tested every week on Oxygen, Photon, 2018-09, 2018-12, 2019-03 and 2019-06 platforms using Jenkins on Linux.

2019-09 release should be installable on Mars and Neon platforms provided Xtext 2.9 or greater is also installed.

The 2019-09 sources are buildable on 2019-09 only.

Java versions

Java 8 on Windows was used to develop and test the milestones of this release.

Java 12 on Windows was briefly used to maintain and test the 2019-09 release candidates. It appears to work although Java code generation/compilation is nearly three times slower.

Java 8 on Jenkins, Linux was used to build and test the release candidates.

The Classic Ecore/UML plugins have been tested on Mars, Neon, Oxygen and Photon and on a Java 5 Virtual Machine. Standalone execution requires only the org.eclipse.osgi plugin from Eclipse Kepler or a spoof of org.eclipse.osgi.util.NLS and org.eclipse.osgi.framework.

The Pivot plugins require at least a Java 8 Virtual Machine and at least Xtext 2.9.1. Testing on Oxygen has a couple of test failures. Testing on Mars and Neon has a few editor/console startup failures.
