JWT Meetings/Minutes09May20

Attendees

4.10 - 5.45pm

German Eclipse Magazine article will be published at the end of May
We are already asked for a second article
Marc will add some publication slides
Second version of Scarbo, shipped as RCP, this will get a press release (in OW2), too.
New version of Scarbo now available, try it and download it (better performance, more usable, better branding, etc.), give feedback; TODO: Chris, Florian

Deadlines: 27th May, RC2, latest one 17th of June
Branding technically done, links for tutorial missing
[New & Noteworthy]: should focus on basic features, not on newest things of 0.6; TODO: Florian
Should include: First, what JWT currently is (for each component: WE, Transformations). Describe all features shortly, then newest features
Conform to normal "N&N" documents
Have a look at JDT for an example.
Summarize things, don't make a section for each extension point
HTML document, maybe can be created in the wiki? Mickael will ask a question about it: TODO Mickael

minor Galileo issues: disable info log messages; TODO Chris
Allow new custom node types; TODO Marc, maybe 0.7
Views.displayObject should return true by default; TODO Change to fixed, maybe have new bug for aspects
Profile and Aspect development not possible in the new outline; TODO Marc Close it, create new bug for ecore-editor mentioned in this bug? Melanie is working on this topic
error on activating perspective; TODO Marc, Mickael, Florian: have a look at it
ExternalActions don't listen to model selection changes; TODO Marc Close as WONTFIX
Getting NPE in JWT View File; TODO Melanie and Florian
Make a wink or a video that shows how UI can be extended, TODO Mickael for version 0.7
input output data not correct, TODO Chris Fixed
Lanes in JWT to BPMN transformation: TODO Florian: change to fixed
Error in JWT to BPMN transfo: TODO Florian, did work for 3.4
Errors during transformations are silent: TODO Mickael, maybe already fixed
BPMN to JWT Transformation: TODO Florian

Put tutorial to Wiki page in different parts -> TODO Chris
The existing tutorial is mainly an introduction to JWT and combination with AgilPro
Things are missing in the current tutorial, it's only focused on one integrator (AgilPro)
A more general document (on the wiki) is necessary to show that it can also be used with other things
Aspects, views, etc. should be included
Different examples for different sub-pages (browser for AgilPro, Amazon-example for Scarbo, etc.), but order should be pre-given for some tutorial pages (so people can understand what depends on what)

Chris reported on the development of the views-branch:
Nearly all bugs on branch fixed now
Major parts should be working right now
Metamodel has been taken out of Workflow Editor
One plugin which includes model and edit code (incl. reference to UI)
Dependency on conf-plugins by metamodel-plugin
Second metamodel in WE that extends the original metamodel and adds layout data, reference and referenceEdges, etc.
Multiple view data on a metamodel-element, necessary for swimlanes in order to fulfil the requirement of Bull and JBoss
Some layout mechanisms included, although not the best for workflows, taken from GEF Zest
several bug fixes included
using new templates from the HEAD revision, works fine, concerning strings somehow strange since it doesn't use plugin.properties!?
views should have maybe an EAnnotation for storing also additional data for advanced things
maybe future feature request: automatic synchronization to simulate the old behavior for some cases
Migration of other plugins to the branch, then final migration of everything to the HEAD
thereby: update old plugins
view editor needs adjustments then, too
new converter needs to be adapted and finalized, too.
