The Koneki project delivers tools to facilitate the development of Machine-to-Machine solutions. The 0.9 release focuses on the following tools:
  • LDT (Lua Development Tools) – Lua is a lightweight scripting language usually used to develop mobile and M2M solutions. Koneki will provide a set of plug-ins allowing to write, run and debug Lua code.
  • Target Management for Mihini – Koneki will deliver a set of plug-ins that provide support for developing against the Mihini application framework, including the possibility to deploy Lua applications from the Eclipse IDE.
The deliverables of Koneki are:
  • Lua Development Tools
  • OMA-DM client
  • OMA-DM simulator
  • Target Management for Mihini
  • Editor for an M2M application model (defined by the M2M Industry Working Group)
Source code housekeeping (repositories organization, plug-ins architecture, ...).
Improve support for Execution Environments
Improve support for LuaDocumentor (syntax highlighting, content-assist, ...)
Command-line tool to generate LuaDocumentor documentation
Target Management for Mihini
Fix known bugs in the current code.
Fix known blocker bugs in the current code.
0.9 release available for download through eclipse.org and on Eclipse Marketplace.

Koneki 0.9 provisional API will get a serious lifting compared to the provisional API of 0.8.
While is has no impact on end users, for whom projects created with 0.8 will still be compatible with 0.9, it may have impacts on people who started manipulating these API. The API refactorings only consist in package renaming so the impacts should be minimal though.
We defined the following themes and priorities for working towards our 0.9 release.
Providing first-class Lua tooling is still one of the top priorities for this release of Koneki, and the following items will be addressed:
Koneki is working closely with the Paho project to establish cooperation between the two projects, and will probably provide tooling for MQTT in later releases. In the mean time, for this 0.9 release, the priorities are put on the following items:
This release of Koneki will provide a first version of tools dedicated to the manipulation of the M2M application model defined by the M2M Industry Working Group.
While this is an incubation release, project team is committed to provide Eclipse quality API. Provided that the release after 0.9 should be 1.0, the provisional API of 0.9 should be very close to how the final API will look like.
