| |
| <p>Plans do not materialize out of nowhere, nor are they entirely static. To |
| ensure the planning process is transparent and open to the entire Eclipse |
| community, plans are posted in an embryonic form and then revised from time to |
| time throughout the release cycle. </p> |
| |
| <p>The first part of the plan deals with the important matters of release |
| deliverables, release milestones, target operating environments, and |
| release-to-release compatibility. These are all things that need to be clear |
| for any release, even if no features were to change. </p> |
| |
| <p>The remainder of the plan consists of plan items for the projects under the |
| Eclipse UML2 project. Each plan item covers a feature or API that is to be |
| added, or some aspect that is to be improved. Each plan item has its own entry |
| in the Eclipse bugzilla database, with a title and a concise summary (usually a |
| single paragraph) that explains the work item at a suitably high enough level |
| so that everyone can readily understand what the work item is without having to |
| understand the nitty-gritty detail. </p> |
| |
| <p>Not all plan items represent the same amount of work; some may be quite |
| large, others, quite small. Some plan items may involve work that is localized |
| to a single subsystem; others may involve coordinated changes across several |
| projects within the same top-level project; and others may involve coordination |
| with other top-level projects. Although some plan items are for work that is |
| more pressing that others, the plan items appear in no particular order. </p> |
| |
| <p>With the previous release as the starting point, this is the plan for how we |
| will enhance and improve it. Fixing bugs, improving test coverage, documentation, |
| examples, performance tuning, usability, etc. are considered routine ongoing |
| maintenance activities and are not included in this plan unless they would also |
| involve a significant change to the API or feature set, or involve a |
| significant amount of work. The intent of the plan is to account for all |
| interesting feature work. </p> |

| |
| <p>The 1.1 release is targeted for 2Q2005. All release deliverables will be |
| available for download as soon as the release has been tested and validated in |
| the target operating configurations listed below.</p> |
| |
| <h2><a name=TargetOperatingEnvironments></a>Target Operating Environments</h2> |
| |
| <p>In order to remain current, each release of an Eclipse project targets |
| reasonably current versions of underlying operating environments and other |
| Eclipse projects on which it depends. </p> |
| |
| <p>Most of Eclipse is "pure" Java<sup>TM</sup> code and has no direct dependence |
| on the underlying operating system. The chief dependence is on the Eclipse |
| Platform, and on the Java 2 Platform that runs it.</p> |
| |
| <p>The UML2 1.1 release depends on the following:</p> |
| |
| <ul type=disc> |
| <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; |
| mso-list:l6 level1 lfo12;tab-stops:list .5in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt; |
| font-family:Arial'>Java 2 Platform 1.4<o:p></o:p></span></li> |
| <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; |
| mso-list:l6 level1 lfo12;tab-stops:list .5in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt; |
| font-family:Arial'>Eclipse Platform 3.1<o:p></o:p></span></li> |
| <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; |
| mso-list:l6 level1 lfo12;tab-stops:list .5in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt; |
| font-family:Arial'>EMF 2.1<o:p></o:p></span></li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>The 1.1 release of UML2 is designed to run on any configuration supporting |
| the above components.</p> |
| |
| <p>The Eclipse Platform runs in a variety of operating environments. Testing is |
| focused on a handful of popular <span class=header>combinations of operating |
| system and Java 2 Platform; these are our </span><em><span style='font-family: |
| Arial'>reference platforms</span></em><span class=header>. Eclipse undoubtedly |
| runs fine in many operating environments beyond the reference platforms we |
| test. However, since we do not systematically test them we cannot vouch for |
| them. Problems encountered when running Eclipse on non-reference platform that |
| cannot be recreated on any reference platform will be given lower priority than |
| problems with running Eclipse on a reference platform.</span></p> |
| |
| <p><span style='mso-bidi-font-weight:bold'>See the <a |
| href="http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/eclipse_project_plan_3_1.html">Eclipse |
| Project 3.1 plan</a> for a list of reference platforms.</span></p> |
| |
| <h4><span style='font-family:Arial'>Internationalization<o:p></o:p></span></h4> |
| |
| <p>Eclipse is designed as the basis for internationalized products. The user |
| interface elements provided by the various Eclipse projects, including dialogs |
| and error messages, are externalized. The English strings for UML2 are provided |
| as the default resource bundles. Translations are not provided with this |
| release. However, the plug-in fragment mechanism provides the means by which |
| translations into any number of other languages can be incorporated.</p> |
| |
| <h2><a name=Compatibility></a>Compatibility with Previous Releases</h2> |
| |
| <h3>Compatibility of Release 1.1 with 1.0</h3> |
| |
| <p>Eclipse UML2 1.1 will be compatible with UML2 1.0.</p> |
| |
| <p><b>API Contract Compatibility:</b> UML2 1.1 will be upwards |
| contract-compatible with UML2 1.0 except in those areas noted in the <i>UML2 |
| 1.1 Migration<em><span style='font-family:Arial'> Guide</span></em></i>. |
| Programs that use affected APIs and extension points will need to be ported to |
| UML2 1.1 APIs. Downward contract compatibility is not supported. There is no |
| guarantee that compliance with UML2 1.1 APIs would ensure compliance with UML2 |
| 1.0 APIs. Refer to <i><a |
| href="http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/java-api-evolution.html">Evolving |
| Java-based APIs</a></i> for a discussion of the kinds of API changes that |
| maintain contract compatibility.</p> |
| |
| <p><b>Binary (plug-in) Compatibility:</b> UML2 1.1 will be upwards |
| binary-compatible with UML2 1.0 except in those areas noted in the <i>UML2 1.1 |
| Migration<em><span style='font-family:Arial'> Guide</span></em></i>. Downward |
| plug-in compatibility is not supported: plug-ins compiled against UML2 1.1 will |
| likely be unusable with UML2 1.0. Refer to <i><a |
| href="http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/java-api-evolution.html">Evolving |
| Java-based APIs</a></i> for a discussion of the kinds of API changes that |
| maintain binary compatibility.</p> |
| |
| <p><b>Source Compatibility:</b> Source files written to use UML2 1.0 APIs will |
| usually compile and run successfully against UML2 1.1 APIs, although this |
| cannot be guaranteed. In some cases, it may be necessary to make minor changes |
| to the source code to disambiguate things like imports or overloaded method |
| invocations. Downward source compatibility is not supported. If source files |
| use new APIs, they will not be usable with earlier versions. </p> |
| |
| <p><b>Workspace Compatibility:</b> Eclipse UML2 1.1 will be upwards |
| workspace-compatible with UML2 1.0 unless noted. This means that workspaces and |
| projects created by an Eclipse with UML2 1.0 installed can be successfully |
| opened by an Eclipse with UML2 1.1 installed. This includes both hidden |
| metadata, which is localized to a particular workspace, as well as metadata |
| files found within a workspace project, which may propagate between workspaces |
| via file copying or team repositories. User interface session state may be discarded |
| when a workspace is upgraded. Downward workspace compatibility is not |
| supported. Metadata files created (or overwritten) by the newer version will |
| generally be unusable with older versions.</p> |
| |
| <p><b>Non-compliant usage of API's</b>: All non-API methods and classes, and |
| certainly everything in a package with "internal" in its name, are |
| considered implementation details which may vary between operating environment |
| and are subject to change without notice. Client plug-ins that directly depend |
| on anything other than what is specified in the API are inherently |
| unsupportable and receive no guarantees about compatibility within a single |
| release much less with an earlier releases. Refer to <i><a |
| href="http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-API%20use/eclipse-api-usage-rules.html">How |
| to Use the Eclipse API</a></i> for information about how to write compliant |
| plug-ins.</p> |
| |
| <h2>Themes</h2> |
| |
| <p>The changes under consideration for the next release of Eclipse UML2 address |
| a few major themes:</p> |
| |
| <ul type=disc> |

| integrated modeling tools. With a growing base of both free and commercial |
| offerings based on UML2, it's critical for continued success to maintain |
| API stability and ensure that the framework scales well. This theme |
| includes work to measure and improve the performance and scalability of |
| UML2 resources. This theme also includes consolidation activities where |
| groundwork was laid in 1.0 but needs to be completed and brought into full |
| use.<o:p></o:p></span></li> |

| 10.0pt;font-family:Arial'> - The UML2 framework needs to not only provide the |
| features that advanced developers demand, but also be something that most |
| developers find simple to use. This theme includes ease-of-use reviews of |

| </ul> |
| |
| <p>Each theme has a number of items; the relevant theme is identified for each |
