Hi,


Initially, Topcased and Papyrus were two separate projects, with an overlap in features (The UML Modeling part). That was Papyrus 1.12 (And I don't know what was the Topcased version at this point)

The UML Modelers have been merged into "MDT Papyrus" in 2009-2010. That was MDT Papyrus 0.7 for Eclipse Helios (Hosted at the Eclipse Foundation). At this point, Topcased was now based on Papyrus (The UML Modeler of Topcased was Papyrus, and Topcased added specific features on top of that).

Then, a few years later, ~ early 2012, both projects have been forked. The Papyrus architecture has been refactored in version 0.9.0, and Topcased relied on a forked version of Papyrus 0.8.2 (Known as Papyrus 0.8.2-EYY)

Today, the status is:

- Official version of Papyrus is 0.10.1 based on Eclipse 4.3.1 (Kepler)
- Current Topcased version is 5.3.1, based on Papyrus 0.8.2-EYY (Forked) and Eclipse 3.7.2 (Indigo)


Regards,
Camille

Hmm, can you explain for a simple user (who is not a programmer) of these tools what this means.

About GenDoc - The link points to a page that essentially states that a project is defined, nothing about the current availability of GenDoc itself, does this mean that there are currently no timeline established when GenDoc will be available (and that it is not currently available) for use from within Eclipse and Papyrus?

About PolarSys - What I could find there was a downloadable IDE, is that a tool for someone that is about to write the code so that PolarSys is integrated into Eclipse and Papyrus, or is that what I as a user that is interested in creating HTML exports should download?

Tomas Sandkvist

Hi Tomas,


GenDoc2 is currently part of Topcased. As far as I know, the plan is to make it an independent project at the Eclipse Foundation. But this is not ready yet.

For PolarSys, it is a working group. The goal is to have a "Long term support" for tools. Something like a maintenance for today's tools for the next 20-30 years. So, this is really specific. PolarSys is not an "Eclipse Project", in the sense that it does not provide any feature. It's (basically) a group for tool providers and industries, to share a common platform for long term support/maintenance. The standard Eclipse process only provides support for 8 months after the release of a tool (Release in June, Service Release 1 in September, SR2 in February, new Release in June, etc.). Most projects follow this timeline, and stop maintenance after SR2.


Regards,
Camille
