Where to find source for older versions [message #1781794]

Hello,

I wanted to use the plugin at http://www.idt.mdh.se/~jcn01/research/assist/, however it was created for version 1.1. I did try to change the dependencies from 1.1 to 1.9, only that change did not work, because API have changed as well.

If I still would like to try other versions, where can I find the source? I will go from 1.8 backwards, until I can get the plugin to work.

Other option will be update the plugin to latest version, but I was looking for a quick fix

Best Regards,
Sandeep

Hi,

You can find old Releases of 4diac on Source Forge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/fordiac/files/4DIAC-IDE/OldReleases/

Hi Ben,

I believe they are not sources, they are compiled binaries. I need to compile from sources to use the plugin.

Hi Sandeep,

you don't necessarily need the source to compile plugins. However it is some work and I only saw that it is possible but never did it using Eclipse Target platform mechanism. Nonetheless the old source code is still in our old mercurial repository [1]. By invoking:

hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/fordiac/fordiac-ide fordiac-fordiac-ide

you should get it. You need to switch to the 1.8.x branch. Then hopefully these plugins should compile again.

I was not aware that this code from Luca is also available. It would be great to have that also on latest 1.9.0. Unfortunately this will be quite some work. Not only the namespace of our plugins changed to the eclipse namespace, but with the code cleanup some of the API completely changed. On the other hand with this cleanup plugins like the ones from luka can now be implemented much easier.

BTW you may want to know that Luca gave us his communication generation plugin and this is also part of 4diac 1.9.0-

Cheers,
Alois

Thanks for this information, will explore this option sometime.

I fixed all the namespace issues, all I am left is 20 total API errors (reference to 7 api's). But I cannot continue further. Is there a changelog that will help me dealing with these 7 API's?

Hi Alois,

hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/fordiac/fordiac-ide fordiac-fordiac-ide

Thanks, the above worked, and I have just 1 API issues, could you please tell me which version had

org.fordiac.ide.typeexport.FbtExporter.saveAsFBTFile()

API and/or what is it changed to in version 1.8?

I tried to see version history for that file in tortiseHG, but cannot figure out how

Hi Sandeep,

The core changelog would be that we removed the UI Model. So everything deriving from View. Based on that we changed nearly every plugin and cleaned-up all over the place (roughly 1000 commits). So I don't know how to provide a somehow usable changelog.

But if you are down to 20 issues. I think it is pretty quick to fix. I could offer you a shared screen-session with goto-meeting or skype and we fix it together. If you have time I would be available today in the afternoon.

I just noticed that the Elcipse forum does not nest replies correctly. So please put my last message to your first message. This is now for the

org.fordiac.ide.typeexport.FbtExporter.saveAsFBTFile()

issue.

The type export and import has been moved to the models plugin somewhere around 1.3 or 1.4. So you should find this class and this method in the models plugin:
fordiac-ide\plugins\org.fordiac.ide.model\src\org\fordiac\ide\typeexport

However you may have to provide an IFile now.
