RTSC components are called packages and
are similar to Java packages in terms of their scope
(and physical structure). The XDCTOOLS product itself has been created as
a collection of over one hundred RTSC packages; we use the XDCTOOLS (and RTSC
packages) to produce, build, and document the XDCTOOLS. Not all the
packages are as "exemplary" as others, however.
You raise a good question. We do
have training materials and probably another 50 packages that are our
"example" packages. Perhaps there is a sort of tutorial that
can be delivered along with the tools themselves.
As for CDT, this is an area that where we
want to ensure seamless integration with the RTSC package model. As it
stands we have only very basic integration; CDT can trigger the clean and build
of RTSC packages. I'd like to see syntax highlighting for the IDL, integration
with the help system, integration with build error handling, etc. I'm
hopeful that by being part of Eclipse we can drive much deeper integration than
we could otherwise.
As Doug mentioned, I'm on vacation this
week and I may be slow in answering questions and brief. I hope this
helps.

Introducing the RTSC proposed project
Hi all,
this sounds very
exciting!
I guess the one big
question I have is, what exemplary components
would be shipped from
Eclipse? The proposal talks a lot about
tools, a core model, and
some "meta-components", but I think
that in order to be truly
successful, at least a few actually usable
components would need to
be included.
What components could
that be?
The other question is, if
and how the build / debug / deployment
system of RTSC would
be integrated with the CDT.
Cheers,

the RTSC proposed project
Hi PMC,
Permit me to introduce you to the Dave Russo, from Texas Instruments. TI is
proposing a new project under DSDP called “Real-Time Software
Components” (RTSC)…affectionately known as “Ritzy”.
Attached is an updated version of the proposal that
follows an initial review by myself, Bjorn, and Mike M. Mike and I also
met with Dave and the other proposed committers two weeks ago to further discuss the technology and their planned
contributions. I also spent some time with Dave last week to discuss the various facets of leading Eclipse
projects. Ritzy has been in use at TI for several years now, both by
internal development groups and by partners. Dave already has a good
understanding of the three communities we service in Eclipse. He asked
several very good questions about transparency, open source vs. commercial
challenges, and the Eclipse development process. I believe he and the
Ritzy team will be a good addition to DSDP.
Please offer any comments you have on this mailing
list. Dave is already subscribed.
He’s out this week, so responses may be delayed. I’d like to
invite him to the next PMC meeting to meet everyone and answer any questions
you have.
Doug
