h2(#PivotStandalone). Pivot Standalone Configuration

If you use Eclipse OCL within Eclipse you should find that the appropriate registrations are provided for you automatically by the plugin registration mechanisms.

However if you use Eclipse OCL outside Eclipse, for instance in JUnit tests, you must provide the corresponding registrations in your code.

bc.. 
org.eclipse.ocl.examples.pivot.OCL.initialize(resourceSet);
org.eclipse.ocl.examples.pivot.uml.UML2Pivot.initialize(resourceSet)
org.eclipse.ocl.examples.pivot.model.OCLstdlib.install();
org.eclipse.ocl.examples.pivot.delegate.OCLDelegateDomain.initialize(resourceSet)
org.eclipse.ocl.examples.completeocl.CompleteOCLStandaloneSetup.doSetup()
org.eclipse.ocl.examples.oclinecore.OCLinEcoreStandaloneSetup.doSetup()
org.eclipse.ocl.examples.oclstdlib.OCLstdlibStandaloneSetup.doSetup()
org.eclipse.ocl.examples.domain.utilities.StandaloneProjectMap.getAdapter(resourceSet);

p. 

These are elaborated on below.

h3. Models

For the Pivot metamodel, the required registrations should be provided by invoking
@org.eclipse.ocl.examples.pivot.OCL.initialize(ResourceSet)@. This initialization ensures that *.ecore is understood.

If *.uml support is also required, invoke
@org.eclipse.ocl.examples.pivot.uml.UML2Pivot.initialize(ResourceSet)@ as well. 
This initialization ensures that *.uml is understood and that standard pathmap: locations are resolvable. It also invokes @org.eclipse.uml2.uml.resources.util.UMLResourcesUtil.init(ResourceSet)@ to ensure that all Eclipse and OMG UML namespaces and extensions are registered.

h3. OCL Standard Library

If you want to use the default OCL Standard Library you should invoke @org.eclipse.ocl.examples.pivot.model.OCLstdlib.install()@ which installs a compiled shareable form of @/org.eclipse.ocl.examples.library/model/OCL-2.5.oclstdlib@.

If you want to use an alternate library examine the code for the standard installation above, and if you want to compile your library examine the @/org.eclipse.ocl.examples.build/src/org/eclipse/ocl/examples/build/GenerateOCLstdlibModel.mwe2@ launcher for the
@/org.eclipse.ocl.examples.build/src/org/eclipse/ocl/examples/build/acceleo/generateOCLstdlib.mtl@ Acceleo template.

Note that the library is extensible and importable so you may import your own library that in turn imports the standard library.

If you neglect to install an OCL Standard Library, you get the error "No OCL Standard Library content available". If you provide a custom library that fails to meet the miinimal requirements of defining the basic library types (e.g. Boolean, Set, Tuple) and methods (e.g. OclAny::"=") you get an error such as "No 'Boolean' type in the OCL Standard Library".

h3. Pivot Delegates

If you have textual OCL embedded within Ecore models you need to register the EMF delegates so that EMF gets, calls or validates dispatch the embedded OCL to the OCL delegates. The required registrations may be provided by @OCLDelegateDomain.initialize(ResourceSet)@ from the @org.eclipse.ocl.examples.pivot.delegate@ package.

This may be invoked with a null argument to install the registrations in the global EPackage.Registry rather than a specified local registry.

If you neglect to register delegates, you may get an error of the form "An exception occurred while delegating evaluation of the ..."

h3. Xtext Parsers

If you want to be able to convert any textual form of OCL to its internal pivot form you need to initialize the relevant parser.

*.ocl Complete OCL documents are initialized by @CompleteOCLStandaloneSetup.doSetup()@.

*.oclinecore metamodels are initialized by @OCLinEcoreStandaloneSetup.doSetup()@

*.oclstdlib OCL Standard Library definitions are initialized by @OCLstdlibStandaloneSetup.doSetup()@.

*.ecore, *.essentialocl, *.uml files or general use of the query API is initialized by @EssentialOCLStandaloneSetup.doSetup()@.

Each of the above ensures that everything that it requires is installed. The various set ups can be found in one of the following packages:

bc.. 
org.eclipse.ocl.examples.xtext.completeocl.
org.eclipse.ocl.examples.xtext.essentialocl.
org.eclipse.ocl.examples.xtext.oclinecore.
org.eclipse.ocl.examples.xtext.oclstdlib.
p. 

h3. platform:/plugin and platform:/resource URIs

If you want to be able to use @platform:/plugin/...@ or @platform:/resource/...@ URIs in a standalone configuration you need to configure the EMF package and URI map registries appropriately. This is a costly activity that involves scanning the classpath and exploiting the content of any plugin.xml and MANIFEST.MF files that are found.

bc.. 
org.eclipse.ocl.examples.domain.utilities.StandaloneProjectMap.getAdapter(resourceSet);
p. 

creates a @StandaloneProjectMap@ to cache all the scan results, initializes the ResourceSet and installs itself as an adapter on the ResourceSet so that it can be retrieved again if needed. Users are strongly recommended to ensure that a single @StandaloneProjectMap@ is shared by all clients and so avoid incurring the classpath scan cost more than once.

(The @StandaloneProjectMap@ has no OCL-specific functionality; it just cures a major problem in the standalone usage of EMF.)

h3. Classpath

If your standalone environment supports OSGI bundles, as will be the case when you use Eclipse to launch a JUnit test or a transformation, the required plugin dependencies are easily configured in the MANIFEST.MF using JDT quick fixes, or the Manifest editor.

For a totally standalone Java launch, you must identify the exact spelling of each JAR that you require and identify it on your Java classpath. The Eclipse JARs may be found in the plugins folder adjacent to your eclipse.exe. So you may need @org.eclipse.ocl.common_1.0.0.v20120516-1543.jar@ amongst many others. The required JARs can be recursively determined by looking at the Class Not Found Exceptions from the Java launch and locating the plugin with a similar name prefix. This is very tedious and has to be repeated each time you upgrade, so don't do it. Use OSGI. However if you must, the following dependency trees may provide some clues.

The dependency tree for the basic parsing and evaluation is:

bc.. 
org.eclipse.ocl.common
  org.eclipse.ocl.examples.common
    org.eclipse.ocl.examples.domain
      org.eclipse.ocl.examples.library
        org.eclipse.ocl.examples.pivot
          org.eclipse.ocl.examples.xtext.base
            org.eclipse.ocl.examples.xtext.essentialocl
              org.eclipse.ocl.examples.xtext.completeocl
              org.eclipse.ocl.examples.xtext.oclinecore
              org.eclipse.ocl.examples.xtext.oclstdlib
p. 

Additionally the UI requires

bc.. 
org.eclipse.ocl.common.ui
  org.eclipse.ocl.examples.markup
    org.eclipse.ocl.examples.markup.ui
      org.eclipse.ocl.examples.xtext.essentialocl.ui
        org.eclipse.ocl.examples.xtext.completeocl.ui
        org.eclipse.ocl.examples.xtext.oclinecore.ui
        org.eclipse.ocl.examples.xtext.oclstdlib.ui
        org.eclipse.ocl.examples.xtext.console
p. 

You may also need the Xtext, EMF, MWE, Orbit plugins and their dependencies
