First of all, thank you for all the great tools in Epsilon.

I have a question about CritiqueLevel in EVL. I can't find any documentation of how to implement it. Does it just exist in the meta-model for the time being?

Yes. There's no matching metaphor for this within Eclipse (warnings
don't have levels) so this got left a bit behind. If you need this
feature, please file a bug report and we'll implement this in one of the
following interim releases.

Cheers,
Dimitris

EVL is used in one of the projects here and one of the questions that arose was: how can one define 'info'-type messages? It's possible from custom validators, but it's unclear how this could be achieved from an EVL module.

Errors and warnings are supported, and when I first skimmed the manual, I thought that the CritiqueLevels may be the way to set a Critique so that it shows as an information message instead of a warning.

What are your thoughts on this?

Hi Joost,

I've just added support for this in the SVN. To specify info-level critiques, you need to add a @info annotation e.g.

@info
critique Unimportant {
check : ...
message : self.name + " does not look great but I guess it's OK"
}

This will appear in the next interim release and I'll update the book shortly.

Cheers,
Dimitris

Awesome!

Thanks! I'll pass it along.

By the way, will this make it into a stable release anytime before 05-07-2013 (source)? I don't think that my colleagues will use the interim version just for the use of info messages. Smile

Thanks. Rolling out a new stable release involves quite a bit of effort (i.e. compiling distributions) so I guess it really depends on the rate at which more/critical bugs are reported/fixed.

Cheers,
Dimitris

I understand that not for every nitpicky thing a new stable release can be made, but I thought half a year might be a bit long.

We will definitely keep an eye out for new releases!
