The Eclipse Modeling Package is a base and sound platform one can rely on for development tasks leveraging the modeling technologies. The Package is focusing on EMF and its complementary frameworks and tools&nbsp;: we call that the "base platform". That said the modeling community is way more diverse than that and provides complete IDE's for dedicated langages. Those are provided through the discovery UI.

The base platform is a complete Eclipse SDK + Modeling Frameworks, it is intended ot be extended by components from the discovery UI.&nbsp;

*being a complementary '''framework''' to EMF or a tool with a fairly small focus

In order to assess what is required from Amalgam in its mission to improve packaging, integration, and usability, a series of package reviews will be performed. Reviews will lead to the creation of bugs to be assigned to either a Modeling project/component, or to the Amalgam project to improve integration and functionality offered by the package.

Revision as of 09:19, 10 December 2020

The Modeling Amalgamation Project (just amalgam for short) will provide improved packaging, integration, and usability of Modeling project components.

Components

Discovery (inactive)

It ease discovery of modeling components through a discovery ui easing installation of those. The discovery is here to help you attract more users and get more feedback, as such it's as open as possible, If you want to be part of it, just ask through a bugzilla.

The only requirement are

  • being an Eclipse project and following the Eclipse Development Process
  • testing your contribution

You're not required to be part of the release train though it makes collaboration easier with other projects. Projects can also provide early adopters versions, the user will be informed of this status when selecting the component.


Your component will be removed from the discovery UI if :

  • its installation is failing
  • major integration issues are not adressed

Releases compatibility

Even if releases might be compatible with upper Eclipse and Sirius versions as used API doesn't change that much, the table below lists which minimum versions the releases have been tested. A given amalgam release will requires at least the listed Eclipse and Sirius release installed in the targeted Eclipse.
