Tigerstripe Buckminster Integration Tutorial

< To: Tigerstripe_Tutorials

Prerequisites

• The tutorial will use CVS for the example projects source repository.
• This tutorial will assume general knowledge and installation of both the Tigerstripe Workbench [1] and the Buckminster [2] Eclipse plug-ins.

Overview

The following is an overview of the Tigerstripe project that will be used in this tutorial. This project will materialize several components into an existing Eclipse workspace. For this example, we will be using a CVS source repository.

• CoreModel - This is the primary Tigerstripe model project. This model project will internally reference the ReferencedModel project.
• ReferencedModel - This is a Tigerstripe model project this is referenced by the CoreModel project described above. The presence of this model is required in an Eclipse workspace for the CoreModel project to build.
• VersionedModel - This is a Tigerstripe model project, as well. It will be included in the workspace via a CSPEC definition in the CoreModel project. This is currently the only mechanism for defining a version based inclusion for a Tigerstripe project. Phase II will allow specific versions to be defined in the Tigerstripe model project.

CQUERY

A Component Query (CQUERY) is the file based input required by Buckminster to initiate the materialization process. For more information about the CQUERY see Buckminster Component Query.

Example CQUERY file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<cq:componentQuery 
  xmlns:cq="http://www.eclipse.org/buckminster/CQuery-1.0" 
  resourceMap="http://www.eclipse.org/tigerstripe/queries/tutorial.rmap">
    <cq:rootRequest 
      name="CoreReferencedProject" 
      componentType="tigerstripe" versionType="OSGi"/>
</cq:componentQuery>
