Re: [modisco-dev] On the immediate future of the MoDisco project
|
Hi
There is now a current build that is working. So far the only deliberate
change is a migration from Antlr 3.0.0 to 3.2.0.
It will be contributed to SimRel for 2019-12M3 shortly to tease out any
problems.
Relevant EMF Facet plugins have been folded in to a Modisco Facet feature.
The builds may be seen at
https://ci.eclipse.org/modisco/job/modisco-master using the
ewillink/552988 branch.
Downloadable ZIPs at
https://download.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/modisco/downloads/drops/1.5.0/
P2 repos at:
https://download.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/modisco/updates/nightly/latest/
I would be grateful if an experienced MoDisco user gives the build a try
to see how much I have messed up.
-----
Installation of the CDO adapters requires an earlier installation of the
derby adapter.
Installation of the use cases needs an earlier installation of at least
apache lucene.
Currently only 50% of the tests pass; probably some trivial installation
detail.
-----
Unless someone raises objections....
Once more tests are working I will follow Eike's recommendation of
migrating from Derby to H2 and so avoiding installation difficulties.
*emf.facet.* will be renamed to *modisco.facet.*
*gmt.modisco.* will be renamed to *modisco.*
EPL 1.0 will change to EPL 2.0 throughout.

Hi
(Apologies for the irregular thread linkage; I've only just subscribed
to this list.)
I have offered to provide life support for the Modisco project, so
please refrain from creating a GitHub fork until you have seen how the
next few months pan out.
Life support means that the project will be built regularly to remain
current and will once again be contributed to SimRel. To this end the
Maven/Tycho build may be regularized to eliminate the proprietary EMF
Facet auto-pom generation in favour of the Tycho auto-pom generation.
A single simple launch in a user workspace after a GIT checkout should
create a distribution that differs from the official distribution only
through the lack of signing. The releng will probably be very similar
to that for OCL, QVTd, QVTo.
Life support means that bugs will mostly not be fixed. However really
trivial/offensive bugs may provoke action.
If the continuance of Modisco inspires the community to contribute
fixes, these should be reviewed and provided tests don't break may be
incorporated.
If a community member makes significant contributions, that member may
well merit election to committer status and perhaps project leader as
well.
If evolution of perhaps Java 14 results in breakages to traditional
usage, it may be necessary for Modisco functionality to shrink unless
someone steps up to rework the breakage.

Ed Willink
