| <introduction> |
| <html:div> |
| <html:p> |
| This document lays out the feature and API set for the |
| eighth annual release of the Eclipse Object Constraint Language (Eclipse OCL) |
| Project, version 4.1.0. |
| </html:p> |
| <html:p> |
| The plan for 4.1 was to complete the prototyping of models and solutions to the UML alignment and many other issues |
| in the OMG OCL 2.3.1 specification. |
| </html:p> |
| <html:p> |
| Considerable progress was made, but not enough to permit the examples prototypes to be promoted as replacements for |
| the legacy functionality. |
| </html:p> |
| <html:p> |
| The OCL to Java code generator was rewritten twice so that it now has a sound underlying model |
| making the code simpler and more efficient and permitting optimizations to be realized easily. |
| </html:p> |
| <html:p> |
| The support for UML was improved so that the new functionality is now exploited within |
| Papyrus for profiles and validation. |
| </html:p> |
| <html:p> |
| The project should now be in good shape to complete UML alignment and then support accurate |
| auto-generation of Java for the many new and changed OCL constraints in the UML 2.5 specification. |
| </html:p> |
| <html:p> |
| <html:i><html:b>Note</html:b> that, since the |
| <html:a href="http://www.omg.org/spec/OCL/2.3.1/PDF">OMG OCL 2.3.1</html:a> |
| standard suffers from significant ambiguities and conflicts making a compliant implementation impossible, |
| <html:b>Eclipse (MDT) OCL 4.1.0</html:b> release is a best endeavours attempt to establish a coherent interpretation |
| of the OMG OCL 2.3.1 and to prototype resolutions and auto-generation of the OMG OCL 2.5 standard. Two of the Eclipse (MDT) OCL |
| committers are also members of the OMG Revision Task Force that resolves the specification issues.</html:i> |

| </introduction> |
| <release_deliverables> |
| <html:div> |
| The release deliverables for the Eclipse (MDT) OCL 4.1 release have the same form as |
| is found in most Eclipse projects, namely: |
| <html:ul> |
| <html:li>OCL All-in-One P2 repository (downloadable and update site).</html:li> |
| <!--html:li>OCL SDK (includes runtime, sources, examples, and documentation) (downloadable and update site).</html:li> |
| <html:li>OCL runtime binary distribution (downloadable and update site).</html:li> |
| <html:li>OCL stand-alone binary distribution (downloadable).</html:li> |
| <html:li>OCL tests (downloadable)</html:li> |
| <html:li>OCL examples (downloadable and update site)</html:li--> |
| </html:ul> |
| <html:p> |
| Eclipse OCL 4.1 will use GIT for source control. |
| </html:p> |
| <html:p> |
| Eclipse OCL 4.1 will primarily target Eclipse 4.3 rather than Eclipse 3.9. |
| </html:p> |
| <html:p> |
| Eclipse OCL 4.1.0 source code will be available as versions tagged "Kepler" in the project's GIT repository. |
| </html:p> |
| </html:div> |
| </release_deliverables> |
| <release_milestones> |
| <preamble> |
| <html:div> |
| Release milestones occur at roughly 6 week intervals and follow the |
| Platform milestone releases by approximately 1 week; that is, until the |
| final 4.3 release of the Platform, upon which Eclipse OCL and other projects |
| will release simultaneously. As Eclipse OCL is a dependency of numerous |
| other projects, Eclipse OCL will deliver its Core plugins at the +1 |
| milestones schedule in accordance with the schedule below. Tools plugins |
| will be two days later on the +3 schedule. |

| <target_environments> |
| <html:div> |
| <html:p> |
| In order to remain current, each Eclipse release targets reasonably |
| current versions of the underlying operating environments. The Eclipse |
| Object Constraint Language (OCL) project depends upon on the |
| Platform and other projects, which are mostly "pure" Java. The 4.3 |
| release of the Eclipse Platform Project is written and compiled |
| against version 5.0 of the Java Platform APIs, and targeted to run on |
| version 5.0 of the Java Runtime Environment, Standard Edition. Eclipse OCL |
| will target the same Java version as EMF and UML2, which currently require |
| Java 5. Eclipse Platform SDK 4.3 will be tested and validated on a |
| number of reference platforms. Eclipse OCL will be tested and validated |
| against a subset of those listed for the platform. |
| </html:p> |
| <html:p> |
| Indirect dependence on version 6 of the JRE has arisen through use of the |
| third party components such as Google Guava. This may justify raising the |
| lower bound explicitly for Luna. |
| </html:p> |
| <html:p> |
| A direct dependence on version 6 of the JRE exists on |
| ly when dynamic compilation |
| of auto-generated Java is exploited. |
| </html:p> |
| </html:div> |
| <internationalization> |
| <html:div> |
| The Eclipse Platform is designed as the basis |
| for internationalized products. The user interface elements provided |
| by the Eclipse SDK components, including dialogs and error messages, |
| are externalized. The English strings are provided as the default |
| resource bundles. As a result, the Eclipse OCL |
| project will provide English strings in its default bundles and be |
| localized to a subset of those locales offered by the Platform. |
| </html:div> |
| </internationalization> |
| </target_environments> |
| <compatibility_with_previous_releases> |
| <html:div> |
| The Eclipse OCL 4.1 project |
| will be developed in parallel, and released simultaneously, with the |
| following projects. |
| <html:ul> |
| <html:li>Eclipse Platform SDK version 4.3</html:li> |
| <html:li>Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) version 2.9</html:li> |
| <html:li>Model Development Tools (MDT) UML2 version 4.1</html:li> |
| </html:ul> |
| <html:p> |
| As described above, the Eclipse OCL 4.1.0 release should address usability of the editors. |
| The main OCL plugins should be unaffected, |
| but the associated examples plugins may be revised significantly. |
| </html:p> |
| <html:p> |
| Again as described above, the Eclipse OCL 4.1.0 release for Kepler will introduce significant new APIs |
| in a new namespace that replaces the old. The old namespace will be deprecated once all |
| Simultaneous Release projects have migrated to the new namespace. |
| </html:p> |
