EMF Compare [message #96974]

Hi,

Can anyone give an update on compare? I have the following questions:

1. Is it compatible with JDK 1.4 and Eclipse 3.2?

2. Does it allow to compare two sets of instance data from the same model
as well as comparing different models?

3. If answer to (2) is yes what format is the delta?

Thanks,

Andy

Andy,

Given that the 0.7 build says it depends on EMF 2.2.2 and Eclipse 3.2.2
I'd say yes to 1. I'm not sure it lets you compare instances from
different models. There is a delta/diff model to describe differences
and this model can be serialized just like any other EMF model.

Andy,

EMF Compare is built against JDK 1.5 and makes use of the features it
introduced such as foreach and generics. It is therefore incompatible
with jdk 1.4 though compatible with eclipse 3.2.2 as Ed mentionned.

I think this nulls out your other questions yet if not :
EMF Compare should allow you to compare both instances of the same model
and instances of two distinct models, and the delta can be serialized as
an XMI file as would any other EMF model.

Hi Laurent,

Thanks for this. The functionality you describe is exactly what we need,
I'm going to try it out and if it does the trick push for us to move to
1.5 or perhaps to run the compare in a separate process.

Many thanks,

Andy
