This page provides the required docuware for the EMF Facet v0.1.0 Release Review, as part of the upcoming Indigo Simultaneous Release.
Contents
Overview
EMF Facet provides a generic and extensible MDE framework to support meta-model extension and model customization.
It is an Eclipse Modeling Framework Technology (EMFT) project, inside the Eclipse Modeling Project (EMP).
Features
In this release
For the first time, EMF Facet is part of an Eclipse Simultaneous Release. The different features provided by EMF Facet v0.9.0, as part of Indigo, are of three categories.
Queries and Facets
- A query abstraction mechanism allowing language-independent querying on models of legacy systems;
- The Facet mechanism for dynamically extending the metamodels;
This both mechanism have been copied from MoDisco. MoDisco components will be disabled when the refactoring of EMF Facet ones will be done. This is expected for 0.2.0.
Those feature are hidden by a capability until the MoDisco version is not deprecated.
Customizations
- A model customization mechanism allowing to change the rendering of model element in function of them state.
This mechanism has been copied from MoDisco. MoDisco components will be disabled when the refactoring of EMF Facet ones will be done. This is expected for 0.2.0.
This feature ishidden by a capability until the MoDisco version is not deprecated.
Customizable widgets
- A customizable table based on the NatTable library.
Accordance with project plan themes and priorities
See http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?projectid=modeling.emft.emf-facet
Non-Code Aspects
The complete EMF Facet documentation is available from the EMF Facet head documentation. This documentation is generated from the embedded Help plug-ins.
The EMF Facet website provides a direct access to all the related resources.
APIs
The current EMF Facet API situation is detailed http://download.eclipse.org/facet/downloads/drops/0.1.0/S201105240412/api_report/html/index.html the API report build on the version 0.1.0 RC2].
Two illegal API used have been identified and are tracked by the following bugs : bug 344247, bug 344246
Architecture
The MoDisco architecture is detailed in http://wiki.eclipse.org/MoDisco/Architecture.
Testing & Packaging
MoDisco uses a Buckminster-based system to build and promote versions.
Each new build is tested at least with Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo).
Core plugins are provided with dedicated test plugins checking their valid behavior.
MoDisco is integrated into the Indigo Release Train since the beginning.
It is also part of the Amalgamation Modeling Package for Indigo.
Tool Usability
MoDisco is used for building Model Driven Reverse Engineering solutions to different scenarios such as:
- Legacy Modernization
- Quality Assurance
- Retro-documentation
- Architecture Improvement
- Etc
End-of-Life
Some components from the MoDisco previous release builds have been deprecated.
Bugzilla
- Bugs (snapshot taken on the 24th of May 2011):
- Enhancement requests (snapshot taken on the 24th of May 2011):
- More detailed information is available in http://wiki.eclipse.org/MoDisco/IndigoReview/Bugzilla_Situation.
Standards
The MoDisco project is working in close collaboration with the OMG Architecture Driven Modernization (ADM) Task Force, which results this year in the EMF implementation of the Abstract Syntax Tree Metamodel (ASTM), Knowledge Discovery Metamodel (KDM) and Software Metrics Metamodel (SMM) specifications.
UI Usability
MDT MoDisco intends to conform to the User Interface Guidelines. The missing points to be fixed in the next version are summarized in http://wiki.eclipse.org/MoDisco/UI_Accessibility_Issues.
Schedule
MDT MoDisco is a "+3" project in the simultaneous release
M1 08/18/2010 M2 09/29/2010 M3 11/10/2010 M4 12/15/2010 M5 02/02/2011 M6 03/16/2011 API freeze M7 05/04/2011 Feature Freeze RC1 05/18/2011 RC2 05/25/2011 RC3 06/01/2011 RC4 06/08/2011 Indigo 06/09/2011
Communities
- Strong collaboration with the OMG Architecture Driven Modernization (ADM) Task Force
- Upgraded version of the SMM (Software Metrics Metamodel) implementation
- First version of the ASTM (Abstract Syntax Tree Metamodel) implementation
- Creation of the EMF Facet project as a spin-off from MoDisco
- Presentation at EclipseCon 2011: Spy On Your Models
- Constant activity on the dedicated MoDisco forum
Committer Changes
Gregoire Dupe (Mia-Software) replaced Frederic Madiot as co-leader of the project. Frederic Madiot has moved from Mia-Software to Obeo. Gabriel Barbier has moved from Mia-Software to Thales.
IP Issues
The Eclipse IP Process has been strictly followed and all plugins contain the appropriate about.html and license files.
The MoDisco IP Log is available from http://www.eclipse.org/projects/ip_log.php?projectid=modeling.mdt.modisco
- Some third-party libraries are used (cf. corresponding validated CQs)
All MoDisco content is released under EPL.
Project Plan
The current project plan is available from http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?projectid=modeling.mdt.modisco.
Graduating to v1.0.0 for the next Juno Simultaneous Release is planned.
This next MoDisco version will imply:
- Upgrades on the various existing components (e.g. bug fixing, performance increase, etc);
- Final migration of the Facet and Customization mechanisms in the EMFT-EMF Facet project.
