Deployment of Epsilon artifacts [message #1777342]

Hi all,
I need to deploy my Epsilon artifacts (.eol, .egx, .egl, .evl, .ewl) as an Eclipse plugin.
All these artifacts manipulate Eclipse UML models that, in turn, are managed by Papyrus. In particular, I have .ewl and .evl files and I created dedicated .launch files for all of them.

Currently, everything works smoothly within the same work space where I load all the source artifacts. Moreover, I successfully deployed external Java tools that I am invoking during the execution of Epsilon artifacts.

Due to restrictions imposed by the project, I cannot share any source artifact but only their executable counterparts.
I would like to deploy a coherent bundle including all the aforementioned artifacts,

How can I do that?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Luca,

EWL and EVL define extension points (org.eclipse.epsilon.ewl.emf.wizards and org.eclipse.epsilon.evl.emf.validation [1]) for integrating with EMF-based tooling. For all other languages, I suspect that you'll need to write plugins that contribute menu items/toolbar buttons etc. and make use of the Epsilon API [2] to invoke your model management programs.

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hi Dimitris,
thanks for your fast responses, as usual. It is a valuable contribution to the success of EPSILON.
I will follow your suggestions.

In the meantime, I attach here the link https://github.com/rdsea/T4UME to the EPSILON-based tool we are currently developing as part of the H2020 project U-Test http://www.u-test.eu/ that is the source of all my questions to this forum.

I hope it can be listed as a good case study for EPSILON as an MDE framework. The project is going to finish in the next few months. According to the intellectual property restrictions imposed by the project, I will further populate the repo with project results and references (hopefully scientific publications).

Thanks again for your help.
