Re: [amalgam-dev] Amalgam discovery
|
Hi Cedric
I thought I saw, but can't find, a recent email from you announcing that
things were now in place for EPP RC1 Modeling Discovery. However I don't
see either MDT/OCL or M2M/QVTd in
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/amalgam/downloads/discovery/helios/modeling.xmi
as requested in Bug 311214.
Regards
Ed

Hi Ed,
Thanks for your feedback.
The plan is to make this UI visible through the welcome page, just like
you suggested :)
If you want QVTd to be part of the discovery ui, I can fire a bug and
you'll be able to provide me the required information from it.
As for the examples I think it deserves a whole discussion but we could
figure a way for people to discover examples not necessarily including
them in their installation : having the same kind of UI which will
install the required dependencies *and* checkout the code from
CVS/SVN/Git. This could probably be part of the Helios +1 release but
I'd like to get the modeling PMC feedback about this.

Hi Cedric
Amalgam is providing some useful functionality, but it's all a bit
secret...
I needed to use Alt-Shift-F1 to confirm that the Modeling Discovery
UI is an Amalgam contribution.
Searching for Modeling Discovery on the wiki reveled no obvious
mention of amalgam. The amalgam project pages refer to the Ganymede
release train.

I just used the Modeling Discovery UI to install Xtext; very good UI
once you find it. (I only discovered it after a mention at EclipseCon
caused me to ask you).
It would probably help a bit if the Welcome page had an additional
prominent icon advertising the Modeling Discovery UI. (use the
org.eclipse.ui.intro.configExtension extension point.)
It might also be good to have Help->Modeling Discovery UI... adjacent
to Help->Install New Software...
Contrasting "Modeling Discovery UI" with "Install New Software",
"Modeling Discovery UI" is a good name describing the technical
implementation but a bad name from the user's perspective. Perhaps
"Install Modeling Software".

Anyway, I'm trying to find out what is necessary for M2M/QVTd and
MDT/OCL Examples to install via the discovery UI.
Is visibility achieved by application to you?
I would like to be able to discover:
Platform examples
EMF Core examples
MDT/OCL examples
M2M/QVTd

Ed Willink
