Re: [m2t-dev] Status of Jet2 project
|
Ed,
The UML dependency was for the uuid tag (I think) which generated a
valid unique id suitable for UML use. You need it (or at least you used
to) if you wanted to generate some persisted EMF objects.
JET2 was certainly released as part of the Rational IDE suite, but it
vary well may have not survived the push into open source. I was part of
that original group, but now use my own tooling that I wrote and
open-sourced in order to get away from the Eclipse dependency.

Hi Christian
Since the original committers have probably moved on to other things ....
A version of JET is a critical component of EMF and while the
templates evolve, the JET variant in org.eclipse.emf.codegen.jet is
very stable.
IIRC one intent of Jet2 was to provide a nice editor to make the <% %>
intelligible. I think there was something that worked.
Attempting to install the R201102081240/m2t-jet-Update-1.1.1.zip fails
through a very strong determination to find UML2 4.0.0 that was
superseded 4 years ago by by 5.0.0 ... See
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=358574 raised in 2011,
worked on in 2014 but never RESOLVED.
Commits to master in 2015, Update UML2 to 5.0.0 (current) and suggest
that a Maven build was working, but there appears to be no
corresponding download. (See
https://git.eclipse.org/c/m2t/org.eclipse.jet.git/log/)
Note that the above that comes from the Jet2 projects downloads page
is dated after the not-reviewed 2.0.0 release, so possibly no Jet2 was
ever released. The GIT contents do not seem to have 2.0 content.
So I'm afraid the answer is abandoned rather than stable.
(I'm really puzzled by the UML dependency. I suspect it could be
changed / removed quite easily.)
Since the editor does not appear to use Xtext, it might be easier to
redevelop than resurrect.
That said, there is a good chance that some enthusiast with
Tycho/Maven skills could produce a new build in a day or two. It is
possible that a local Tycho build just 'works'.
Regards
Ed Willink

Hi,
while hitting some limitations with the Jet libraries that come along
with EMF, I found the Jet2 project. From the commit history it seems
either rock stable or abandoned.
Therefore I would like to ask for the status of the project. Is it
still maintained?
thanks
Christian
