| [mdt-papyrus.dev] Papyrus Demo at EclipseWorld |
|
Team, Patrick asked that I report back to you on the outcome of
last week’s MDT project demo (of which Papyrus was a part). Unfortunately, the project demos were held during the
Eclipse Foundation Party and my demo was in the last slot, so not many people
had a chance to learn about MDT and Papyrus. This was probably not such a bad
thing, though, because when I did try to show Papyrus, I kept running
into out-of-memory errors (even though I had allocated 512M for the runtime
workbench). So, the bad news is that the demo didn’t go so well. The good news is that feedback on the purpose of Papyrus was
very positive. I told the story about things all came about at the EclipseCon
BoF earlier this year, and everyone that stopped by showed interest in, and enthusiasm
for, what we’re trying to do in Papyrus. To be successful going forward, I
think it’s important that we provide a clear roadmap for the project and make
it more obvious how what we’re doing in Papyrus is different from what
UML2 Tools (and GMF, for that matter) gives you out of the box. I’d like to thank Patrick and Cedric for their help in
preparing for the demo. Note that I’ll be doing a presentation on what’s
new in MDT at Eclipse Summit Europe (November 19-20), and I hope to feature
Papyrus prominently. So we should do what we can over the next couple of weeks
to put together a compelling demo of what Papyrus has to offer. Cheers, Kenn
Hussey
