Project Plan For MoDisco, version 0.11

Introduction

---- DRAFT ---
This document lays out the feature and API set for the next release of the Eclipse MoDisco framework (MDT MoDisco Project), version 0.11.0. This project plan inherits from the Modeling Project Plan, which should be referenced when consulting this individual project plan.

Release Deliverables

The release deliverables have the same form as is found in most Eclipse projects, namely:
  • MDT MoDisco SDK (includes runtime, sources, examples, tests and documentation) (downloadable and update site).

Table of Contents

Release Milestones

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 releases of the Platform, upon which MDT MoDisco and other projects will release simultaneously. As MDT MoDisco depends on other projects, it will deliver its milestones at the +3 schedule in accordance with the schedule below.
M108/22/2012
M210/03/2012
M311/14/2012
M412/19/2012
M502/04/2013
M603/20/2013(API Freeze)
M705/08/2013(Feature Freeze)
RC105/22/2013
RC205/29/2013
RC306/05/2013
RC406/12/2013
Kepler06/27/2013
MDT MoDisco will produce maintenance releases to align with the Juno service releases (SR), that includes the Eclipse Platform 4.2.1 and 4.3.2 releases. MDT MoDisco may produce interim maintenance releases in addition to these in order to satisfy client requests.
  • Friday, September 29, 2012 - MDT MoDisco 0.10.1 maintenance release (Juno Service Release 1)
  • Friday, February 23, 2013 - MDT MoDisco 0.10.2 maintenance release (Juno Service Release 2)

Target Environments

In order to remain current, each Eclipse release targets reasonably current versions of the underlying operating environments. The Eclipse MDT MoDisco project depends upon on the Platform and other projects, which are mostly "pure" Java. The 4.3 releases of the Eclipse Platform Project are 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 MoDisco will target the same Java version as EMF, which currently also requires Java 5. Eclipse Platform SDK 4.3 will be tested and validated on a number of reference platforms. MDT MoDisco will be tested and validated against a subset of those listed for the platform.
This year we will try to make MoDisco compatible with Helios, because some potential users use old version of Eclipse.

Internationalization

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 MoDisco project will provide English strings in its default bundles and be localized to a subset of those locales offered by the Platform.

Themes and Priorities

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.

Restructuring

The MDT MoDisco project will be subject to some internal restructuring (already in progress) for several of its components to be finally migrated to the EMFT EMF Facet project. This migration will notably concern the Query Manager and Facet Manager components, parts of the Infrastructure layer. This theme is a priority to provide a stable release to all MoDisco users. That is why non critical bugs (e.g., some bugs concerning the other themes) will be fixed afterwards. Note also that the "deferred" bugs listed here will be then treated within the context of the EMFT EMF Facet project, once the migration of the corresponding components from MoDisco will be fully performed.

Scalability

The MDT MoDisco project will be subject to several upgrades directly related to the improvement of scalability for its different components. This will include the increase of global performances (in terms of CPU time, memory footprint, etc), but also the more advanced support for (very) big EMF models.

  • Committed

Service, Support and Maintenance (general project and Infrastructure layer)

The MDT MoDisco project has a proven track record of quality and reliability. After restructuring, service and support will take priority over new development work; commitments and schedules are subject to arbitrary change, slippage, or even deferral. Note also that the bugs tagged [Move to EMF Facet] will be then treated within the context of the EMFT EMF Facet project, once the migration of the corresponding components from MoDisco will be fully performed.
