| [modeling-pmc] MDT/OCL Text Editor and EMFT Model Registry suggestion |
(Resending to lists I was not subscribed to. Original message was also sent to mdt.dev@xxxxxxxxxxx, mdt-ocl.dev@xxxxxxxxxxx, m2m-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx.) Hi All In https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=261742 #2 Christian Damus revealed that we are discussing migrating the (currently M2M/QVT Declarative) OCL Editor to MDT/OCL. This incurs two dependency problems. The text editor uses IMP, which is an incubation project, so the additional optional MDT/OCL editor plugins might have API stability issues. IMP has hopefully only very minor IP issues. The semantic validation of OCL requires a solution to the problem of where is the (potentially user-defined non-plugin) package named Xyzzy? The (currently M2M/QVT Declarative) Model Registry solves this problem. The Model Registry was originally part of UMLX, it has moved to QVT Declarative. A further move of generic modeling functionality to MDT/OCL does not seem right. Therefore a new EMFT project seems more appropriate. Kenn, Ed, Rich, Frederic, Jean, ... Please advise on how best to proceed with a fairly small EMFT Model Registry project. All: Please be aware of the plans and please comment, especially if you have ideas or available resources for further Model Registry development. Please respond on mdt.dev@xxxxxxxxxxx only. Attached PDF provides more background on the project dependencies. Regards Ed Willink
