Planned evolution for EML. [message #20435]

Hi Dimitris.
I am including Epsilon (EML and ECL mostly, as it goes on model
composition) in a report, and would like to talk a little about its
evolution plans.
Are there some published milestones? (didn't find them on the GMT
project site or on Epsilon's).
If not, could you elaborate a little on the future lines or planned
features/tools?. I don't need much, a couple of ideas would be great.
Thanks again.

Hi Juan Pedro,

There are three dimensions to the evolution of ECL and EML. The first
dimension is about the features provided by the languages themselves. In
this dimension, we've found the current constructs/mechanisms of the
languages to be satisfactory for the scenarios users have come across
until now, but we are always monitoring the field for new ideas and we
welcome any feedback from the community.

The second dimension is about the features provided by Epsilon (e.g. the
core EOL language and the underpinning model connectivity framework) and
which ECL and EML inherit. In this dimension, we have plans for
providing debugging facilities, supporting additional modelling
technologies and improving the scalability and performance of the
languages in Epsilon.

The third dimension is integration of ECL and EML with other tools. To
this end we have been working on integration with EMF Compare (see
http://epsilonlabs.wiki.sourceforge.net/EMF+Compare for a brief overview).

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Dimitris
