Project Plan For Model-to-Text Transformation (M2T), version Helios

Table of Contents

• Release Deliverables
• Release Milestones
• Target Environments
• Compatibility with Previous Releases

This plan covers the Eclipse Helios simultaneous release of components in the Model to Text (M2T) project of the Eclipse Modeling top-level project. This project plan inherits from the Modeling Project Plan, which should be reference when consulting this plan. This plan primarily serves as a pointer to individual component plans.

The Helios release will include the following M2T components:

• M2T Acceleo - Plan
• M2T JET - Plan
• M2T Xpand - Plan

All project components follow the Helios schedule as defined by the Google Calendar. Milestones occ at roughly 6 week intervals, and follow the Eclipse Platform milestones by approximately 2 weeks.

In order to remain current, each Eclipse release targets reasonably current versions of the underlying operating environments. The M2T JET project depends upon on the Eclipse Platform and other projects, which are mostly "pure" Java^TM. The 3.6 release of the Eclipse Platform Project is written and compiled against version 1.4 of the Java Platform APIs, and targeted to run on version 1.4 of the Java Runtime Environment, Standard Edition and later. The M2T components will target a subset of the Java version as the Eclipse Platform Project (typically, Java 5 or later). Eclipse Platform SDK 3.6 will be tested and validated on a number of reference platforms. The M2T components will be tested and validated against a subset of those listed for the platform.
