| <h3>Method Configurations Overview</h3> |
| <p>Eclipse Process Framework Composer ships with a lot of content out of the box. It includes |
| the OpenUP framework and various plug-ins extending |
| OpenUP/Basic with domain-specific additions. No organization or project requires all of this |
| documentation all at once, but would work with a selection of specific subsets.</p> |
| <p> Eclipse Process Framework Composer (EPF Composer) manages for that purpose so-called method |
| configurations, which allow you to specify working sets of content and processes |
| for a specific context, such as a specific variant of the OpenUP framework that |
| you want to publish and deploy for a given software project or as a foundation |
| for a development organization. All content and processes in EPF Composer are organized |
| in method plug-ins, which are organized into method packages. A method configuration |
| is simply a selection of the method plug-ins and packages.</p> |
| <p><img src="conf.gif" width="665"></p> |
| <p>You create and specify a configuration using the configuration editor depicted |
| in the figure above. You could start creating your own method configuration |
| by copying one of the configurations that ship with EPF Composer and modify it to fit |
| your specific needs. You can add or remove whole method plug-ins as well as |
| make selection with each plug-in by checking or un-checking packages. </p> |
| <p> You can use the resulting configuration as your working set for your EPF Composer |
| work. The actual content of the configuration, i.e. the included method content |
| and process elements are always accessible in the Configuration view. Use the |
| combo box in the toolbar to select the currently used method configuration.</p> |
| <h3>Publishing Overview</h3> |
| <p>Method configurations are the basis for publishing method content and processes. |
| A published configuration is an html Web site that presents all the method |
| content and processes of the method configuration in a navigable and searchable |
| way. It uses the relationships established during method content and process |
| authoring to generate hyperlinks between elements as well as provides tree |
| browsers based on the configuration view and user-defined categorizations of |
| the content. The figure below shows an example of the published 'Classic RUP' |
| method configuration.</p> |
| <p><img src="pub.gif" width="550"></p> |
| <p>For publishing simply create and select a configuration. The publication wizard |
| will do the rest for you and only publish content that is part of the method |
| configuration. It will also automatically adopt content to the configuration |
| such as removing |
| references of method content elements to elements outside of the configuration |
| or removing activities from your processes that only contain work defined outside |
| of the configuration set. Hence, publishing will only include the content that |
| you really need. You can always preview a published configuration using EPF Composer's |
| browsing perspective.</p> |
