Anthony,
It's up to Christian to decide for Query. I believe he's indicated
he'll keep it around for one more release.
I've heard nothing in response to SDO. I'm seeing little value in
keeping it around, but I suppose the cost of keeping it on artificial
life support is minimal as well. I'm leaning towards ditching it...

Hi Ed/Christian,
Just to end this thread, we are not terminating SDO or EMF Query and
both will be in Galileo. Right?
Cheers...

Christian,
Like SDO, I see Query as having little real value to justify its
existence. So like Query, I'm considering terminating the SDO
component. Components that don't have a significant established user
base and for which there is no interesting future don't really don't
have a place at Eclipse. If there is really only one user, they can of
course maintain the source themselves.

Anthony,
I forgot to answer your other questions. I don't
know about GMF, but Transaction build only requires the Query for the
3-in-1 feature that it publishes to the Ganymede/Galileo builds. The
Transaction and Validation components have no dependencies, and can
build without it.

Hi Christian,
We are getting more information for you, but IBM makes use of EMF Query
in its products. So it cannot go away for Galileo. We would be fine
with creating a 1.3 version that has no new content, but just confirms
from a build and smoke test perspective that it still works and is at
the high standard of quality as the other components in Galileo.
I am wondering why EMF Transaction and GMF have a build dependency on
EMF Query for the last three years ? (I.e. EMF Query is listed on the
dependencies on the download page).
Cheers...

[emf-dev] Status of the EMF Query Component |
Hi, all,
The EMF project has had, since Callisto days, a Query component
providing a Java API with an SQL-ish feel for structured searches in
EObject data. Since its 1.0 release, this component has not added any
new features except for keeping up with its dependencies: following EMF
Core in adopting J2SE 5.0, and adopting new OCL APIs.
It seems to me that this component never did show much "traction" from
the user community and I have no plan to initiate any new work for the
Galileo release. A summary of Bugzilla activity looks like this:
- Raised/resolved since the Ganymede
(1.2) release: 0 / 0
- Raised/resolved since the Europa
(1.1) release: 9 / 9
- Raised/resolved since the Callisto
(1.0) release: 11 / 12
- Raised/resolved since the initial
commit: 11 / 10
Note that a significant number of these bugs were releng-type bugs
tagged against the Query component but applying to common/replicated
artifacts and processes across the EMF Query/Transaction/Validation
components and also MDT OCL.
So, my questions to the community are:
- Do you use the EMF Query component?
- Are you interested in continuing
to develop the EMF Query component?
- I am happy to help
contributors to earn committer rights by working with them on their
patches.
Your feed-back is very important to determining whether this component
will have a 1.3 release in Galileo, whether it should just produce a
maintenance release for Galileo, or whether it should proceed to a
Termination Review.
Thanks,
Christian
