| <introduction> |
| <html:div> |
| <html:p> |
| This document lays out the feature and API set for the |
| sixth annual release of the Eclipse Object Constraint Language (MDT OCL) |
| Project, version 3.1.0. |
| |
| A late requirement to use Xtext rather than IMP to support editing meant that many 3.0.0 facilities |
| were not fully developed in time for release 3.0.0. Resolution of evaluator issues and library usability |
| were held back, and the editors provided only as examples. Interim milestones, or if necessary an interim |
| 3.1.0 release, are intended to resolve quality issues in the editors. |
| The 3.1.0 release (for Indigo) should prepare for full integration |
| of the new editors and make the library model-driven. Switchover of the old APIs to the new functionality |
| and renaming of examples plugins should occur immediately after Indigo so that OCL clients have the |
| entire Indigo+1 development cycle to exploit the enhancements that will appear in 3.2.0. |
| |
| New external APIs are planned to provide interchangeability with alternate OCL products. |
| The existing external APIs should be unaffected, will be deprecated after Indigo, but may be |
| retained indefinitely. |
| |
| New semi-internal parsing APIs are planned to resolve a number of hard problems and to provide |
| compatibility between the LPG and Xtext parsers. The existing semi-internal parsing APIs will |
| be retained in so far as possible, but will be deprecated in Indigo. The project team anticipates |
| working with major consumers in the release after Indigo to assist in migration to the new APIs. |

| <html:i><html:b>Note</html:b> that, since the |
| <html:a href="http://www.omg.org/spec/OCL/2.3/Beta2/PDF">OMG OCL 2.3</html:a> |
| standard suffers from significant ambiguities and conflicts making a compliant implementation impossible, |
| <html:b>Eclipse (MDT) OCL 3.1.0</html:b> release is best endeavours to establish a coherent interpretation |
| of the OMG OCL 2.3 and to prototype resolutions and auto-generation of the OMG OCL 2.4 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 3.1 release have the same form as |
| is found in most Eclipse projects, namely: |
| <html:ul> |
| <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> |
| Eclipse (MDT) OCL 3.1.0 source code will be available as versions tagged "R3_1" in the project's CVS repository. |
| </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 3.7 release of the Platform, upon which MDT OCL and other projects |
| will release simultaneously. As Eclipse OCL is a dependency of numerous |
| other projects, Eclipse OCL will deliver its milestones at the +1 |
| schedule in accordance with the schedule below. |

| <target_environments> |
| <html:div> |
| 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 3.7 |
| 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 3.7 will be tested and validated on a |
| number of reference platforms. MDT OCL will be tested and validated |
| against a subset of those listed for the platform. |
| </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 3.1 project |
| will be developed in parallel, and released simultaneously, with the |
| following projects. |
| <html:ul> |
| <html:li>Eclipse Platform SDK version 3.7</html:li> |
| <html:li>Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) version 2.7</html:li> |
| <html:li>Model Development Tools (MDT) UML2 version 3.2</html:li> |
| </html:ul> |
| <html:p> |
| As described above, the Eclipse OCL 3.1.0 release should address usability of the editors. |
| The main OCL plugins should be unaffected, |
| but the associated examples plugins may be revised significantly. |
| |
| Again as described above, the Eclipse OCL 3.2.0 release for Juno 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. |

| A list of project requirements and agreed upon |
| implementation time frames is found in this document. For the |
| milestones listed in this document, a set of overall themes is used |
| to indicate what major set of functionalities is to be concentrated |
| on for each. These themes are presented below, while the requirements |
| document and associated Bugzilla entries are left to those wanting |
| more detailed information on each. |
| </html:div> |

| <theme name="Compliance"> |
| <description> |
| <html:div> |
| This theme addresses issues related to the OMG OCL 2.3 specification adoption. The bugs related to the inherited deviations |
| of the Eclipse OCL implementation from the OCL 2.0 specification (and consequently, OCL 2.3) also appear here. |
| |
| It is anticipated that fixes for the majority of the target 3.2.0 will appear in the |
| revised Eclipse OCL Examples code in 3.1.0, but this will not be promoted to replace the |
| traditional behaviour until 3.2.0. |
