Focus
The Amalgam project provides :
- the Eclipse Modeling Package
- integration code and tools for the Modeling Projects
New and noteworthy
No More Incubation
Components can now only be included in the Modeling Package if they are not in incubation.
Eclipse Modeling Package Content Change
The following component has been removed from the package :
- EMFT Mint
The following components have been added to the package :
- EGit
- EMF-EEF Ecore codegen
Talking Points
Quality of APIs
The component lead certifies that the requirements for Eclipse Quality APIs have been met for this release.
Non-API classes are separated from the exposed API through an internal package in the namespace.
Architecture
The discovery UI is leveraging a model describing its contribution and hosted on the Eclipse.org server. This model might be updated after the release to provide new installable components for the package.
Tool Usability
Amalgam address the need of a common integrated platform for Eclipse Modeling. This platform is completely focused on the EMF runtime and technologies. The discovery UI integrated in the package address the need to find its way through the so diverse modeling project and to install the needed technologies.
End of Life Issues
The Modeling Examples developed for the Eclipse Modeling Project: A Domain-Specific Language (DSL) Toolkit (ISBN-13: 978-0321534071) book have not been maintained since the Ganymede release and have not been updated for Indigo yet.
Committer Diversity
1 Committer from Obeo, 1 from Borland and 1 from Itemis.
IP Issues
The about files and use licenses are in place as per the Guidelines to Legal Documentation.
All other contributions (code, documentation, images, etc) have been committed by individuals who are either Members of the Foundation, or have signed the appropriate Committer Agreement. In either case, these are individuals who have signed, and are abiding by, the Eclipse IP Policy. The other contributions of the IP log are not significant or are written 100% by employees of the same employer (Obeo) as the Submitting Committer (http://www.eclipse.org/legal/EclipseLegalProcessPoster.pdf).
All contribution Questionnaires have been completed.
The "provider" field of each plugin is set to "Eclipse Modeling Project".
The "copyright" field of each plugin is set to the copyright owner.
Any third-party logos or trademarks included in the distribution (icons, logos, etc) have been licensed under the EPL.
The Modeling Amalgam IP log is located at http://www.eclipse.org/projects/ip_log.php?projectid=modeling.amalgam
Non-Code Aspects
Unit tests
The Modeling Package is tested manually with each milestone.
=APIs
Metamodel definitions and interfaces of the modeling discovery are considered APIs.
Non-API classes are separated from the exposed API through an "internal" namespace.
Non-API packages are exported with an internal visibility as such they are visible but with an illegal access warning.
Documentation
Documentation is kept on the Eclipse Wiki http://wiki.eclipse.org/ModelingAmalgam . Work has started to provide a cross-modeling-projects documentation through the Google Summer of Code 2011, the results should be part of the Juno release.
