| [papyrus-rt-dev] Developer setup model now complete |
Hi, Team,
Thanks to some excellent work by Ernesto in wrangling the Oomph setup model to run EMF code generation and Xtext builds on several of the textual modeling and codegen related source projects, the setup model now can provision a fully compiled and ready workspace for new developers without any compilation errors, missing source folders, or complicated extra manual steps. Even when creating a fresh new clone of the git repository!
There is an important note about a single point of user intervention in the setup process: the org.eclipse.papyrusrt.xtumlrt.xtext project (the main Xtext project for the textual UML-RT syntax) will prompt in the Console view for download of an extra ANTLr-related JAR that the Xtext builder wants, but which is not distributed with Xtext. For the same reasons that it isn’t distributed with Xtext, it isn’t baked into the setup model. But, you can simply hit the Y key and Enter in the console to proceed with the Xtext generation. Apart from that, the setup is now fully automated.
This should really help individuals in the adopter community to get started building solutions on Papyrus-RT and to encourage contributions. Thanks, Ernesto!
