Hi Martin,
So you are not asking for a listing of strong points :-), okay here are some improvement points:
- I think that the concept of annotations model is a bit too complex, it works, it even works fine, but I think in the
mid-term there should be something more easily maintainable/understandable. This also touches on the weakness/missing
feature, that if you change the structure of your ecore model, the annotations model can get out of sync/touch, so both
need to be maintained at the same time in parallel.
- Texo is very much tied to EMF, I guess that there are is a learning curve for anyone not from the modeling world, I
would like to bring EMF like concepts more to the general web developer community..
- Texo is being maintained mostly by myself only, so small base, on the other hand the generated code is very standard
and the main framewwork code is easy to be maintained directly if needed, so the usage risk is quite low imho. And I am
actively looking for additional people/contributors, expecting/hoping that this will be resolved over time...
- Texo is now tied to JPA persistence, I think the future needs some more flexibility there, I would like to add more
runtime-dynamic behavior both on the model side as well as in persistence functionality
So these things are mainly related to the ideas I have for the (near-)future, related to more runtime model-flexibility,
micro-services with distributed datastores, etc.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
gr. Martin
