OCL/New and Noteworthy/Kepler

Eclipse OCL New and Noteworthy items for the Kepler 4.1.0 release.

Milestone 2

Ecore, UML

• 388595 EDataTypes may be sources of OperationCallExps

Complete OCL

• 390104 'Cyclic resolution of lazy links' console messages fixed.

OCLinEcore

• 388282 Ambiguous superclasses are now qualified
• 382230 Editor refreshes if underlying *.ecore changes

Milestone 3

Editors

• 393405 Editors may be installed on Indigo.

OCLinEcore

• 392039 Collection types may be Set<String> rather than String[*]{unique,!ordered}

Milestone 5

The OCL to Java code generation has been substantially improved to inline many facilities that previously constructed wrappers to re-use the interpreted evaluator API. The generated code is now directly in the generated *Impl files and in many cases the entire functionality now uses fewer lines than the Juno delegation.

• 387973 Standalone functionality no longer requires a platform plugin on the classpath
• 399378 UML and OCL primitive types are no longer distinct
• 399582 Hovertext available in the Essential OCL editor for use by Console and Papyrus

Milestone 6

Editors

• 397917 EReference.eKey no longer gives errors in OCLinEcore
• 400079 Operations as well as Properties shown for Features in grammar
• 401921 Property types with non-Primitive numeric DataTypes no longer give a stack overflow.
• 402204 Closed projects no longer confuse platform: URI resolution.
• 402767 Non-unity collection upperbounds no longer mis-parsed.
• 403070 Operations may be invoked with non-Primitive numeric DataTypes

Ecore

• 401915 oclAny() return for nothing may be configured as null or invalid

Pivot

• 392981 UML profiles are now loaded correctly
• 400448 invalid now propagates for oclisKindOf, oclIsTypeOf, oclType, toString
• 400744 Multiplicities in UML now converted to collection bounds
• 401302 closure() no longer terminates prematurely on duplicates
• 401817 oclAny() now returns invalid for nothing
• 403567 Pivot evaluator preference no longer ignored

Code Gen

• 401693 Generated code is now error free for a first generation

Milestone 7

A new preference determines which of the

• classic LPG (http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore/OCL/LPG),
• experimental Pivot (http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore/OCL/Pivot)
• virtual (http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore/OCL)

delegate URIs to use when first exporting OCL embedded in a *.ecore file.

The existing run-time preference mapping the virtual delegate URI to either classic LPG or experimental Pivot evaluators can now be changed at will.

The OCLinEcore editor no longer normalizes delegate URIs in a source file to http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore/OCL/Pivot. A consistent delegate URI usage is preserved. The new export preference is used only when there is inconsistent or no delegate URI usage.

A menu option within the OCLinEcore editor allows the export delegate URI to be changed. A *.ecore fill can be saved with a different delegate URI to that deduced during load.

Editors

• 401953404216 Parsing of complex expressions no longer takes exponential time
• 404871 Auto-formatting can make huge OCL expressions more readable
• 405228 Completion assist is now available directly after a "." or "->"

OCLinEcore

• 404493 Embedded OCL with a terminating -- comment may now be edited
• 404870 Whitespace in OCL expressions is now preserved in the *.ecore file
• 405303 Implicit oclAsSet() expressions no longer confuse the editor after a reload
• 405306 Invariants are no longer duplicated after a reload

Complete OCL

• 403937 Complete OCL is now loadable in context such as GMF editors where the selection is IAdaptable to EObject.
• 404063 Loading an erroneous Complete OCL Resource now shows a visible diagnostic popup
• 404064 Complete OCL Resource may now be loaded to add validation to Pivot-based editors such as QVTr

Pivot

• 394660 x.oclLog('a string valued expression').y may be used to log/debug x while evaluating x.y

Code Generator

• 406804 The code generator has been rewritten to have its own model suitable for rewrite optimizations
