| <introduction> |
| <html:div> |
| <html:p> |
| This document lays out the feature and API set for the |
| seventh annual release of the Eclipse Object Constraint Language (MDT OCL) |
| Project, version 4.0.0. |
| </html:p> |
| <html:p> |
| The original plan for a major version increment to 4.0 was abandoned in favour of a 3.2 increment, however tight |
| coupling to MDT/UML2, which plans a major increment, mandates the increment to 4.0 for the overall project, features |
| and UML-dependent plugins. The non-UML-dependent plugins have a minor increment to 3.2. Newly UI plugins start at 1.0. |
| </html:p> |
| <html:p> |
| Versions 3.0 and 3.1 saw the introduction of Xtext-based editors and an associated rewrite of the |
| meta-models and evaluator to prototype a UML-aligned pivot meta-model on behalf of OCL 2.3.1 and to use a model for |
| the OCL Standard Library. This functionality was provided in Examples plugins. |
| </html:p> |
| <html:p> |
| The planned promotion of Xtext-based editors and pivot meta-model from Examples to Core/Tools plugins has been deferred |
| till Kepler since the code was not ready and the timescales foir review were totally unreasonable. |
| </html:p> |
| <--html:p> |
| In version 4.0, the Xtext-based editors and pivot meta-model will be promoted from Examples to Core/Tools plugins and the |
| very slow process of deprecation of the old Ecore and UML bindings will begin. The Core plugins will provide non-UI |
| functionality; the Tools plugins will provide the IDE comprising editors and consoles. |
| </html:p--> |
| <html:p> |
| Version 4.0 introduces a preliminary OCL to Java code generator so that OCL embedded in Ecore may be directly |
| genmodelled and so that OCL-defined well-formedness rules can be used for validation within the editors. |
| </html:p> |
| <html:p> |
| Version 4.0 introduces an ability to load Complete OCL documents for use in third party applications such |
| as the Ecore generated Editors and Xtext generated editors so that user-defined meta-model constraints |
| can augment validation. |
| </html:p> |
| <html:p> |
| The Examples API has been revisited to facilitate re-use by OCL-derived languages such as QVT.</html:p> |
| <html:p> |
| <!--html:p> |
| As part of the promotion from Examples to Core/Tools the Examples API will be revisited to facilitate |
| re-use by OCL-derived languages such as QVT. The project team anticipates working with major consumers |
| to assist in migration to the new APIs. |
| </html:p--> |
| <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 2.3.1</html:a> |
| standard suffers from significant ambiguities and conflicts making a compliant implementation impossible, |
| <html:b>Eclipse (MDT) OCL 4.0.0</html:b> release is a best endeavours atempt 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 4.0 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 (MDT) OCL 4.0 will use GIT rather than CVS for source control. |
| </html:p> |
| <html:p> |
| Eclipse (MDT) OCL 4.0 will primarily target Eclipse 4.2 rather than Eclipse 3.8. |
| </html:p> |
| <html:p> |
| Eclipse (MDT) OCL 4.0.0 source code will be available as versions tagged "R4_0" in the project's GIT repository. |
| </html:p> |

| <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 4.2 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> |
| 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 4.2 |
| 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 4.2 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: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 4.0 project |
| will be developed in parallel, and released simultaneously, with the |
| following projects. |
| <html:ul> |
| <html:li>Eclipse Platform SDK version 4.2</html:li> |
| <html:li>Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) version 2.8</html:li> |
| <html:li>Model Development Tools (MDT) UML2 version 4.0</html:li> |
| </html:ul> |
| <html:p> |
| As described above, the Eclipse OCL 4.0.0 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 4.0.0 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. |
