Other ideas

Project team member and potential mentors, add your content here. The format suggested below is just an idea. Play with the layout, but please don't mess with content provided by other projects. Please be sure to follow branding guidelines (e.g. "Eclipse Dash", not "Dash"). Putting things in alphabetical order seems like a fair thing to do. Links to content hosted elsewhere are fine, but bear in mind that this page will likely be the main point of contact for people who are not already inside your community.

Example Project idea

Description of the Example Project idea with links to more information, bugs, and other useful content.

Specific work that this could involve includes:

Eclipse 4diac

Eclipse 4diac is an environment for programming distributed industrial process measurement and control systems according to the IEC 61499 standard.

Topic 1: Add OCL for Detecting Model Inconsistencies in 4diac Models

Eclipse provides a OCL (Object Constraint Language) infrastructure. This allows to specify generic constraints a model has to fulfill. This can be utilized in Eclipse 4diac to add checks for issues and inconsistencies in the models developed in 4diac.

Skills required: Java, eCore, OCL beneficial

Possible mentor: Alois Zoitl

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them on to the 4diac mailing list.

Eclipse APP4MC

Eclipse APP4MC is a platform for engineering embedded multi- and many-core software systems. The platform enables the creation and management of complex tool chains including simulation and validation. As an open platform, proven in the automotive sector by Bosch and their partners, it supports interoperability and extensibility and unifies data exchange in cross-organizational projects. APP4MC is one of the results of the ITEA3 Amalthea and Amalthea4Public research projects.

What is Eclipse APP4MC?

Click here to get a quick overview of how Eclipse APP4MC and Capra can help you manage timing, scheduling and traceability in a multi-core environment.

Topics and how to apply

If you are interested in one of the topics, please...

• Download and extract APP4MC
• Open the Tools-Examples (File -> New -> Example -> APP4MC Tools Examples -> Java Example)
• Modify the file LoadModifySaveExample.java so it will output some information about the model, e.g. the number and name of tasks
• Create a GitHub account (in case you don't yet have one) and upload your results
• Contact us via the APP4MC mailing list. Don't forget to attach the Link to your GitHub repository.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them on to the APP4MC mailing list.

Topic 1: Simulating APP4MC Models

Eclipse APP4MC integrates the Amalthea System Model that allows, among others, describing the structure of software. In order to verify the timing behaviour of the described systems, your task is to develop a rudimentary tool that simulates the system (e.g. executed runnables and tasks) and outputs an appropriate BTF trace.

(Skills required: Java, understanding BTF beneficial)

Specific work that this could involve includes:

• t.b.d.

Possible mentor: Lukas Krawczyk

Eclipse ChemClipse

ChemClipse is a software used in chromatography, spectrometry and spectroscopy. Among others, it supports to read mzXML files.

The source code is located here and can easily be cloned: https://github.com/eclipse/chemclipse/
If you are interested in one of the topics you have to apply on the mailing list.

Topic: Extend support for mzXML, mzML

Reading mzXML data works already. An export option shall be added. It's the same for other known XML formats like mzML.

Skills required: Java, XML processing

Possible Mentor: Philip Wenig

Eclipse SWTChart

SWTChart is a powerful library to create charts and display data using SWT. It can be easily used in Java desktop applications. Only a few lines of code are necessary to create interactive and feature rich charts:

public class MyChart extends MassSpectrumChart {
 
	public MyChart(Composite parent) {
		super(parent, SWT.NONE);
		initialize();
	}
 
	private void initialize() {
 
		IChartSettings chartSettings = getChartSettings();
		chartSettings.setCreateMenu(true);
		applySettings(chartSettings);
		//
		List<IBarSeriesData> barSeriesDataList = new ArrayList<IBarSeriesData>();
		IBarSeriesData barSeriesData = new BarSeriesData(SeriesConverter.getSeriesXY(SeriesConverter.BAR_SERIES_1));
		barSeriesDataList.add(barSeriesData);
		//
		addSeriesData(barSeriesDataList);
	}
}

The source code is located here and can easily be cloned: https://github.com/eclipse/swtchart/
If you are interested in one of the topics you have to apply on the mailing list.

Topic: Extending the export options

Many export options are contained already, e.g. to export to bitmaps as well as to scripts. The R script option is really helpful, especially when preparing scientific charts for publication, but it needs improvements. As the data is stored in a generic way, many different export options can be implemented. The following improvements are needed:

• Improving/optimizing *.svg export for Inkscape
• Extend the R-script export
• Improve the *.png and *.jpg options using the display
• Create bitmaps natively (no restriction regarding resolution and size of the display)

Skills required: Java, SWT
