Modeling/project termination review 2012
Projects to be Terminated
The following Modeling projects will be terminated and archived.
Mint
Mint provides improved out-of-the-box Java developer experience when writing EMF-based software. The project is a subproject of the EMFT project. Active development ceased in June 2010.
Activities:
- EMFT landing page is being eliminated by the termination of the modeling container projects.
- Archive the contents of Mint's CVS repository
- Delete bugzilla EMFT/Mint component.
- Retire committers, i.e., Peter Nehrer.
PMF
PMF provides support for building data presentation applications. The project is a subproject of the Modeling project. Active development and newsgroup traffic has been minimal since inception.
Activities:
- Modeling landing page has no references to it.
- Archive the contents of PMF's CVS repository
- Delete bugzilla product and components PMF/*
- Retire committers, i.e., Jim Van Dam, Olivier Moises, Thomas Guiu, and Yves YANG.
SBVR
SVBR provides a metamodel implementation and sample tools based on the adopted Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules (SBVR) OMG specification. The project is a subproject of the MDT project. The project never produced any results.
Activities:
- Update the MDT landing page.
- As far as I can tell, there's never been anything placed in a repository, but there's no portal metadata for this project so I can't be sure.
- Delete bugzilla MDT/SBVR component.
- Retire committers, i.e., David Carlson.
SDO
SDO is an implementation of the Service Data Objects specification. The project was a component of the EMF project. Support for it was terminated as the 2.5 release of EMF. At that time, it was taken over by the Apache Tuscany project.
Activities:
- Update the EMF landing page.
- Archive the contents of SDO's CVS repository
- Delete bugzilla EMF/SDO component.
- Retire committers, i.e., Ed Merks.
TCS
TCS enables the specification of textual concrete syntaxes for Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) by attaching syntactic information to metamodels. The project is a subproject of the to-be-terminated TMF project.
Activities:
- TCS isn't mentioned on the TMF landing page.
- Archive the contents of the repository that I've been unable to locate because there is no metadata for this project.
- Delete bugzilla GMT/TCS component.
- Retire committers, i.e., Frederic Jouault.
UML2 Tools
UML2 Tools is a set of GMF-based editors for viewing and editing UML models. The project is a subproject of the to-be-terminated MDT project. It's contents will be migrated as samples for the GMF project.
Activities:
- MDT landing page is being eliminated.
- Archive the contents of the UML2 Tools' CVS repository.
- Delete bugzilla MDT/UML2Tools component.
- Retire committers, i.e., Christian Waniek, Michael Golubev, and Tatiana Fesenko.
