Overview
New & Noteworthy.
Structure.
Available components and tools:
2 components are still in developpement:
- 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:
- Testing SCA Applications: a set of tools to test SCA applications.
- SCA Policy: how to define SCA policies?
- 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.
