Hi All,
I have to cancel tomorrow’s Tigerstripe Community call
as I’ll be traveling.
We made a lot of progress however this past week. Here is a
quick update:
-
3rd party
.jar: Eclipse Legal has scheduled Velocity for Feb’08. We
are hoping to get Qdox’s last questionnaires in time for the same Feb
milestone.
-
Annotations: we have an
early prototype working (Thx to Jim). At this stage we can annotate/decorate
any URI in the workspace. Jim is polishing a demo for early feedback. The next
step will be looking at integration with Tigerstripe. As it stands the
annotation framework will be completely generic allowing to annotate/decorate
any resource in the workspace.
-
Mentors Intro: Steve, Ed
and I met with our mentors and another Cosmos member last Tuesday. We provided
an intro to Tigerstripe and got some nice feedback.
o
We will explore integration with
Cosmos (maybe leading to a f2f in EclipseCon).
o
The main recommendation from our
mentors at this stage was to “polish up” our API. A Stable,
properly designed API is a key to adoption of the project… so we
will polish it J.

Tigerstripe API
refactor: Thanks to Richard a lot has happened already, however a
lot more is required. We are keeping track of all changes in apiRefactoring-notes.txt
in the base plugin. Changes range from renaming of classes and packages, to
more involved re-work around the lifecycle of the model artifact to ensure
integrity of the model, and true-decoupling of the persistence layer. We are
hoping to get to a first “integration build” late this week, or
early next week. At this time, we’ll probably start porting the testing
framework (Duncan
J?) to make sure we haven’t
broken anything.
I’ll work with Jim this week to schedule a demo of the
Annotations stuff.
Cheers,
Eric
