| <p> |
| This document lays out the feature and API set for the first release of TMF Xtext project,version 0.7.0. |
| This project plan inherits from the Modeling Project Plan, which should be referenced when consulting this individual project plan. |
| </p> |
| </div><h2><a name="release_deliverables">Release Deliverables</a></h2><div> |
| The release deliverables have the same form as is found in most Eclipse projects, namely: |
| <p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>TMF Xtext source code release, available as versions tagged "R0_7" in the project's CVS repository.</li> |
| <li>TMF Xtext SDK (includes runtime and tooling components, with sources, examples, and documentation) (downloadable and update site).</li> |
| <li>TMF Xtext runtime binary distribution (downloadable and update site).</li> |
| <li>TMF Xtext tests (downloadable and update site)</li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| </div><p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="release_milestones">Release Milestones</a></h2><div> |
| Release milestone occurring at roughly 6 week intervals and follow the Platform milestone releases by approximately 2 weeks; |
| that is, until the final 3.5 release of the Platform, upon which Xtext and other projects will release simultaneously. |
| As Xtext is dependent upon the EMF, and other projects, which are scheduled to release milestones within 1 week of Platform milestones, |
| Xtext will deliver its milestones within the following week. |
| It is anticipated that Xtext will synchronize its release milestones with the Galileo release schedule. |

| In order to remain current, each Eclipse release targets reasonably current versions of the underlying operating environments. |
| The Xtext project depends upon on the Platform and other projects, which are mostly "pure" Java. |
| The 3.5 release of the Eclipse Platform Project is written and compiled against version 1.4 of the Java Platform APIs, |
| and targeted to run on version 1.4 of the Java Runtime Environment, Standard Edition. |
| Xtext will target the same Java version as EMF, which currently requires Java 5. |
| Eclipse Platform SDK 3.5 will be tested and validated on a number of reference platforms. |
| Xtext will be tested and validated against a subset of those listed for the platform. |
| Those available will be presented on the project download site. |
| </div><h3>Internationalization</h3> |
| <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 Xtext project will provide English strings in its default bundles and be localized to a subset of those locales offered by the Platform. |
| This plan will be updated to indicate which locales will be provided and the time frame for availability. |
| </div> |
| <p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="compatibility">Compatibility with Previous Releases</a></h2><div> |
| Compatibility of Galileo Release: The Xtext project will be developed in |
| parallel, and released simultaneously, with the following projects. |
| <ul> |
| <li>Eclipse Platform SDK version 3.5</li> |
| <li>Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) version 2.5</li> |
| <li>M2T Xpand version 0.7</li> |
| <li>EMFT MWE version 0.7</li> |
| </ul> |
| </div><p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="themes_and_priorities">Themes and Priorities</a></h2><div> |
| 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. |
| </div><h3>Core Features</h3><div> |
| As this is the first release of Xtext under the textual modeling framework, we focus a lot on core concepts |
| and features. |
