| Re: [emf-dev] Status of the EMF Query Component |

Hi Ed/Christian,
Christian, Like SDO, I see Query as having little real value to justify its existence. So like Query, I'm considering terminating the SDO component. Components that don't have a significant established user base and for which there is no interesting future don't really don't have a place at Eclipse. If there is really only one user, they can of course maintain the source themselves. Christian W. Damus wrote:
I forgot to answer your other questions. I don't know about GMF, but Transaction build only requires the Query for the 3-in-1 feature that it publishes to the Ganymede/Galileo builds. The Transaction and Validation components have no dependencies, and can build without it. cW On 16-Sep-08, at 1:47 PM, Anthony Hunter wrote:
We are getting more information for you, but IBM makes use of EMF Query in its products. So it cannot go away for Galileo. We would be fine with creating a 1.3 version that has no new content, but just confirms from a build and smoke test perspective that it still works and is at the high standard of quality as the other components in Galileo. I am wondering why EMF Transaction and GMF have a build dependency on EMF Query for the last three years ? (I.e. EMF Query is listed on the dependencies on the download page). Cheers...

Hi, all, The EMF project has had, since Callisto days, a Query component providing a Java API with an SQL-ish feel for structured searches in EObject data. Since its 1.0 release, this component has not added any new features except for keeping up with its dependencies: following EMF Core in adopting J2SE 5.0, and adopting new OCL APIs. It seems to me that this component never did show much "traction" from the user community and I have no plan to initiate any new work for the Galileo release. A summary of Bugzilla activity looks like this: Note that a significant number of these bugs were releng-type bugs tagged against the Query component but applying to common/replicated artifacts and processes across the EMF Query/Transaction/Validation components and also MDT OCL. So, my questions to the community are: Your feed-back is very important to determining whether this component will have a 1.3 release in Galileo, whether it should just produce a maintenance release for Galileo, or whether it should proceed to a Termination Review.
