RE: [epf-dev] epf installation

Hi Bjorn,
You almost did it.
You need to say Yes to "Copy
to create a writable copy"
This was added so that every user would
always have a pristine copy of the library on their hard drive.
Or you can skip copying it, and modify
the library that you downloaded.

Richard,
I am still stuck.
The http://www.eclipse.org/epf/general/getting_started.php
does not have
any information about how to install epf and related practices.
As said, the
first steps are easy, unzip and double-click and epf comes up. But
then the troubles start:
You say: "In
order to open these libraries, simply unzip the *library*.zip file in your
local file system".
Let us have a
look at the downloads:
1. Eclipse
Process Framework (EPF) Downloads: EPF Composer
2. EPF
Wiki: Download EPF Wiki releases, milestone builds
3. EPF
Practices: Download EPF Practices library and published Web site
(including ABRD practice).
4. OpenUP:
Download OpenUP library and published Web site, plus these published
Web sites: OpenUP/DSDM and OpenUP/ABRD.
5. Scrum:
Download Scrum library and published Web site
6. XP:
Download XP library and published Web site
7. Method
Authoring Method for Eclipse Practices Library: Download MAM EPL
library and published Web site
Number one is
the easy one - epf is up and running.
Number two -
let us leave that for later
Number three
EPF Practices: Contains three files (a) Library: epf_practices_library-1.5.0.1-20090227.zip,
(b) Published Web site: epf_practices_published-1.5.0.1-20090227.zip and
(c) ABRD published Web site: abrd_published-1.5-20090227.zip plus Bugzilla.
Is it correct that you are saying that I have to copy and unzip these
three libraries when you "In
order to open these libraries, simply unzip the *library*.zip file in your
local file system".
Let me proceed to see what then happens: I copy and unzip the
three files under the epf-composer folder. The (c) appears to have
most but not all files in common with (a) and I choose the options not
to let ABRD files overwrite the files from the (a). All these elements
must be part of an installation description in my eyes. I should
sweat in panic already since I am fumbling in the dark.
Then, next step:
" and point Composer to open the library.xmi file."
In practice, I try it out. First I have to find THE "library.xmi
file". I go to FIle->Open->Method Library and by default
it points to my C disk with my ËPF\Method Libraries\Library1. OK,
there is no such thing. I then use Windows file system to search
for a "library.xmi file" under the epf-composer folder. I
find one in the \EPF_Practices folder. I point the application towards
it. Then comes the cryptic message: "The library is not writable".
Was nun kleiner Mann? What is the recommended way forward?
The composer tells me that I have the option of skipping it or to
"Copy to create a writable copy ... ". What am I to do?
Try out all options untill I have explored the limits of the universe
of combinatorial mathematics?
Or much better,
could someone write instructions how to install epf - or rather the processes.
That would be great progress.
Thanks,
Bjorn

Hi Bjorn, thanks for your questions.
On the EPF page you find a link to Getting Started material that should
help you understand and use the EPF Composer tool. Please refer to: http://www.eclipse.org/epf/general/getting_started.php
Briefly explaining, you can use EPF Composer tool (the software part) to
create your own process description, or use anyone of the many process
descriptions (the documentation part, if you will) available as part of
this project, such the ones you mentioned:
- OpenUP - a minimal, complete, and extensible process based on agile and
UP principles
- ABRD - Agile Business Rules Development guidance for projects that involve
developing business rules
- DSDM, Scrum, XP are also available as part of the project.
In order to open these libraries, simply unzip the *library*.zip file in
your local file system and point Composer to open the library.xmi file.
This scenario is useful if you want to publish the out-of-the-box content
yourself, or extend/reuse this content.
However, if you want to use the out-of-the-box content as is, you can simply
unzip the *published*.zip of your choice, and run index.htm - it will open
your Internet browser and you will be able to navigate the published content.
Do you have to install all of them? It depends on what you are looking
for. Are you interested in following one of these particular methods or
document/use one defined by your organization?
I hope this reply adds some clarity and addresses your questions. But please
look at the Getting Started session of the EPF web site for more material,
such as articles, demo recordings, and such.
And send further questions to this group at anytime.
Regards,
Ricardo Balduino.

| [epf-dev] epf installation |
Sorry for the very basic question: How do I install epf??
On the http://www.eclipse.org/epf/
page I found no simple instructions: What do I have to download,
what could/should I download, how should I configure the beast? I
have installed the epf-composer, the software starts when I click on epf.exe,
that is easy. But then there are other things, like:
EPF Practices 1.5.0.1 - Library (epf_practices_library-1.5.0.1-20081027.zip),
Published Web site (epf_practices_published-1.5.0.1-20081027.zip),
ABRD published Web site (abrd_published-1.5-20081022.zip)
What are they good for? Do I have to install them? What part
of epf is is documentation and framework and what is software?
The epf composer appears to run independently from eclipse.exe itself,
is there no integration?
There is also DSDM_OpenUP? Do I have to/should I install them?
Thank you for any help.
Regards,
Bjorn
