User Experience
Features will be added or streamlined to go further in having a better user experience. The end goal is to provide a diagram editor which helps the user in getting efficient, and drives him toward Ecore best practices.
Scalability : The Million
We will make sure EcoreTools - and the underlying Sirius technology, is still usables when editing a model made of one Million model elements.
Remove the legacy implementation
The Legacy plugins which were still provided with Luna will no longer be provided on the EcoreTools update sites.
More especially the bundles :
org.eclipse.emf.ecoretools.registration
org.eclipse.emf.ecoretools.filters
org.eclipse.emf.ecoretools.diagram
org.eclipse.emf.ecoretools.diagram.ui.outline
org.eclipse.emf.ecoretools.codegen
Headless
The diagram editor will be split in two parts (UI and non UI dependant) so that it can be used - to some extent - in headless.
