A draft of the development plan for MDT 1.1, targeted for June 2008 as part
of the Ganymede simultaneous release, has been posted at
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/docs/plans/mdt_project_p lan_1_1.html.
Feedback is welcome.

I would suggest adding an dev plan item for a reusable OCL widget for
edition purpose.

[OCL Tools component]:{Reusable OCL editor widget}

My idea would be to give user possibility to embbed such OCL widget as
part of their tools UI (eg: inside wizard page, console page, tabbed
propeties page, search page, ....).

Maybe could we inspire ourselve from the OCL interpreter example coming
from EMFT Query, having a MDT OCLViewer with M1/M2 support for OCL
editing, based on the MDT OCL Parser.

I already have a need for such feature in [EMFT Search] and can offer
reasonible contribution effort for that.

regards,

Lucas,

I'm sure Miguel will give your suggestion (and contribution!) due
consideration when he puts together more detailed development plans for the
Ganymede release... at this point, the OCL Tools component has yet to be
provisioned. :(

Kenn,

I'll take some time to talk with Miguel about that.

Kenn,

could we consider a UML2 tools Diagram Search contribution (ie: EMFT
Search based) as possibly part of MDT UML2Tools ?

I could propose a patch for such feature, in a form of plugin offering
popup menu for selected X class in a Class Diagram for :

- associations references to class X
- compositions references to class X
- aggregations references to class X
- more ?

I'm not sure where this plugin should take place MDT/? or EMFT Search/UML2/?

In the one hand this would seems natural to me to have it somewhere in
UML2Tools, in the other hand I do understand this would add a very
optional dependency to UML2Tools.

Any idea ?

regards,

- Lucas

Yes, that sounds like a great idea. Please work with Michael Golubev (the
UML2 Tools component lead) to ensure that it factors into his planning.

Hi Kenn,

One area where the UML API is particularly weak on is protecting itself
in cases where exceptions are triggered precisely because something has
made the model ill-formed - e.g., a circular containment hierarchy, a
circular generalization hierarchy, etc... In some cases (e.g., circular
containment induced from a package merge operation gone bad), we can
even induce an infinite loop in the exception handling code that
attempts to undo the mess. I observed these things in the Eclipse 3.2
environment I work with (uml 2.0.4) From the CVS logs, I am not sure if
the issues are still there or not. If they are, is this the sort of
issue that could be considered for the MDT 1.1 plan?

Cheers,
-- Nicolas.

Hi Nicolas,

If possible, could you please raise specific defects (with steps to
reproduce the problem).
Contributions from the community regarding filling out the various
validation functions is always welcomed ;).

Cheers,
- James.
