</a></li></ul></div><h2><a name="introduction">Introduction</a></h2><div>
<p>This document lays out the feature and API set for the incoming release of
the Eclipse Papyrus (MDT Papyrus) Project, version 0.8.0 This project plan
inherits from the Modeling Project Plan, which should be referenced when
consulting this individual project plan.
In addition to the detailled items listed below, the papyrus team will ensure the maintenance of its existing plug-ins.</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:
<ul>
<li>MDT Papyrus source code release, available as versions tagged "R0_8" in the project's SVN repository.</li>
<li>MDT Papyrus SDK (includes runtime, sources, examples, and documentation) (downloadable and update site).</li>
<li>MDT Papyrus runtime binary distribution (downloadable and update site).</li>
<li>MDT Papyrus stand-alone binary distribution (downloadable).</li>
<li>MDT Papyrus tests (downloadable)</li>
<li>MDT Papyrus examples (downloadable)</li>
</ul>
</div><p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="release_milestones">Release Milestones</a></h2><div>
Release milestones occurring 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 Papyrus and other projects
will release simultaneously. It is anticipated that MDT Papyrus will synchronize
its milestones with the Indigo milestone schedule.
</div><table border="1" align="center"><tr><td><b>M1</b></td><td>08/06/2010</td><td/></tr><tr><td><b>M2</b></td><td>09/17/2010</td><td/></tr><tr><td><b>M3</b></td><td>10/29/2010</td><td/></tr><tr><td><b>M4</b></td><td>12/10/2010</td><td/></tr><tr><td><b>M5</b></td><td>01/28/2011</td><td/></tr><tr><td><b>M6</b></td><td>03/11/2011</td><td><div>API freeze</div></td></tr><tr><td><b>M7</b></td><td>04/29/2011</td><td><div>Feature Freeze</div></td></tr></table><div>
MDT Papyrus may produce interim maintenance releases in addition to these in
order to satisfy client requests.
</div><p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="target_environments">Target Environments</a></h2><div>
In order to remain current, each Eclipse release targets reasonably
current versions of the underlying operating environments. The Eclipse
Papyrus 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. MDT Papyrus 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 Papyrus will be tested and validated against a subset of
those listed for the platform.
</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 MDT Papyrus
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>
The MDT Papyrus 0.8.0 project
will be developed in parallel, and released simultaneously, with the
following projects. As stated above, each milestone release of the
MDT Papyrus 0.8.0 project will be compatible with the
corresponding milestones for each of these projects, and delivered the
appropriate offset.
<ul>
<li>Eclipse Platform SDK version 3.7</li>
<li>Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) version 2.6</li>
<li>Model Development Tools (MDT) UML2 version 3.1</li>
<li>Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF) version 2.3</li>
</ul>
<p>
As described above, the MDT Papyrus 0.8.0 release is not backwards compatible
with the Papyrus and TopCASED-UML project.
</p>
<p>
<i>
A transformation aimed to help users to migrate from TopCASED-UML/SysML towards MDT Papyrus will be provided early 2011.
For migrating from Papyrus 1.x to MDT Papyrus, a partail transformation will be provided to support class and comosite diagrams migration.
In addition, papyrus will enable to create automatically diagrams from ane xisting UMl models. This tool may be used as for example for migrating from the UML2 Tool
</i>
</p>
</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>Editors</h3><div>
This theme addresses issues related the diagram editors of Papyrus. It concerns
more precisely all generic features related any kind of Papyrus diagram editor.

[Component diagram], [Profile diagram], [Use case diagram],
[State machine diagram], [Protocol state machine diagram], [Activity diagram],
[Sequence diagram], [Communications diagram], [Interactions overview Diagram],
[Timing diagram].
For the SysML, it concerns following specific diagram editors: [Activity diagram], [Block definition diagram], [Internal block diagram],
[Package diagram], [Parametric diagram], [Requirements diagram],
[Sequence diagram], and [State machine diagram].
