Papyrus 2.0 improvements will be focussed on the following topics:
- DSML-related facilities (including customizability and extensibility)
- Usability and ergonomy
- Perfomance and stability
- Table-based editors (including support for hierarchical tables)
- Team work (including model diff/merge and connection with CDO)
In addition, some important architecture changes will happen:
- Better separation of runtime vs UI plug-ins, to allow headless execution
- Better separation of the various components layers, to allow modular builds
These changes will affect all libraries depending on Papyrus. A migration guide will be provided when the changes are integrated. See Bug 485220 for more details: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=485220
