Welcome to the wiki home of the SCA Tools project that provides a set of tools for the [http://www.osoa.org/display/Main/Service+Component+Architecture+Home Service Component Architecture (SCA)] set of standards. This page is an entry point to last information about the SCA Tools project.

[[Image:compositeDesigner2.png||SCA Composite Designer|thumb]] [[Image:ScaCompositeXmlEditorOverview.gif||SCA XML Editor|thumb]]

The SCA Tools project has seen an enormous amount of new development since the 2008 Ganymede release. We've added an [[STP/SCA_Component/SCA_XML_Editor|XML editor]] to make editing and updating SCA-standard assembly files really easy. For Java developers, it's now possibly to create an SCA assembly definition and then [[STP/SCA_Component/SCA_Composite_to_Java|generate Java code]] from it. And, if you want to start with some Java you already have, we've added a special introspector that will investigate your code and automatically produce an SCA assembly. Once you've created your Java SCA project, you can then [[STP/SCA_Component/SCA_Java_Run_and_Debug|run and debug]] it using the great facilities that Eclipse provides. We also have made sure that the SCA artifacts you might create are [[STP/SCA_Component/SCA_Builder|properly validated]], helping you spot mistakes early in the process. We even took the time to update the graphics, giving us a prettier SCA Composite Designer.

One of the most exciting feature is how we've developed the core SCA model to be [[STP/SCA_Component/SCA_MMExtension|extensible]] by people who want to write in [[STP/SCA_Component/SCA_CompositeDesignerExtension|extra capabilities into the tools]]. The heart of the model contains the SCA standard specifications, and different extensions have been created to support the key Open Source SCA runtimes - Apache Tuscany 1.4 and Frascati 0.5. Using the extension mechanisms, it is much more straightforward to [[STP/SCA_Project/Ontology|add new concepts]] to SCA and extend the tools to include them.

<h1>Overview</h1>

[[STP/SCA_Component/New_And_Noteworthy|New & Noteworthy]].

[[STP/SCA_Component/Structure|Structure]].

Available components and tools:
* [[STP/SCA_Component/SCA_Composite_Meta_Model|SCA Composite Metamodel]]: SCA metamodel (OSOA) + Tuscany metamodel + FraSCAti metamodel.
* [[STP/SCA_Component/SCA_Composite_Designer|SCA Composite Designer]]: GMF modeler to construct SCA assembly files.
* [[STP/SCA_Component/SCA_Samples|SCA Samples]]: a set of ready to use SCA example projects.
* [[STP/SCA_Component/SCA_XML_Editor|SCA XML Editor]]: XML editor for composite and componentType files.
* [[STP/SCA_Component/SCA_Builder|SCA Builder]]: a builder to validate SCA artifacts in an SCA project.
* [[STP/SCA_Component/SCA_Java_Run_and_Debug|Run / Debug]]: run and debug SCA Java projects on SCA platforms.
* [[STP/SCA_Component/SCA_Composite_to_Java|Composite to Java]]: generate Java code skeletons from an SCA composite.
* [[STP/SCA_Project/Ontology|SCA Semantics]]: add SAWSDL annotations on components, services, and references.


2 components are still in developpement:
* [[STP/SCA_Component/SCA_Form_Editor|SCA Form Editor]]: an editor based on Eclipse forms for SCA assembly files.
* SCA Composite Introspector: construct SCA assembly files in a bottom-up approach from POJO and component type files.


Ideas for new components:
* [[STP/SCA_Component/SCA_Testing_SCA_Applications|Testing SCA Applications]]: a set of tools to test SCA applications.
* [[STP/SCA_Component/SCA_Policy|SCA Policy]]: how to define SCA policies?
* [[STP/SCA_Component/SCA_Model_Loader_API|SCA Model Loader API]]: an extensible API to load and edit SCA models from SCA artifacts and implementation code. This API can be used in Eclipse and in standalone mode.
