[EMFT Query] OCL Interpreter plugin : any plan to move as separate reusable component ? [message #96967]

Hi,

I was wondering if any plan exist moving OCL Interpreter as a kind of
reusable component into EMFT or MDT project (instead of generating it).

I currently rely on the generated OCL interpreter plugin in the sense I
reuse OCL Document & OCL Viewer to provide [EMFT Search] users
possiblity to define OCL syntax editing features to intuitively create
[Ecore|UML2] OCL Model Search Queries.

Providing such OCL editing capabilities out of the box in a common
component would allow MDSD tools developpers to create higher level
editing stuff.

regards,

- Lucas

Hi, Lucas,

The EMF Query component is in the EMF project, so I am redirecting your post
to that newsgroup.

There is currently no plan to separate the org.eclipse.emf.query.ocl feature
from the EMF Query component.

The OCL Interpreter is a component of the MDT project (named OCL). It isn't
in the EMF Query component. Look for the org.eclipse.ocl and
org.eclipse.ocl.uml features, there.

Cheers,

Christian

Hi,

Sorry for the confusion, I was speaking about
[org.eclipse.emf.ocl.examples.interpreter] plugin from which I reuse the
OCLSourceViewer based OCL expression editor.

Hi, Lucas,

The org.eclipse.emf.ocl.examples.interpeter plug-in likewise is in the MDT
OCL component. It is OCL's official "example" plug-in, but does not
constitute a part of the run-time builds. You should probably think twice
before redistributing this plug-in with your Search tooling.

The new OCL Tools component of MDT has a mandate to develop, among other
things, an editor for OCL. This would be the natural home of the source
viewer that you want to re-use. Currently, there is no plan to contribute
the source viewer in the OCL Console example to OCL Tools; it would need
more work that I can afford to get it into shape.

I'm sure Miguel would be interested in any effort that you can add to
development of the editor in the OCL Tools component!

Cheers,

Christian
