This new release of Acceleo will focus on improving the performance, the stability and the structure of the project. There will be multiple changes in the structure of the project and various changes in the existing APIs.
New bundles will be introduced in order to improve the use of Acceleo on stand alone and OSGi runtimes.
Some old components will be removed from Acceleo in order to focus on the core features of the project.
This new release will include several change in the API provided by Acceleo. Users who have created Acceleo generators with a previous version of Acceleo will not be affected but those who are programmatically manipulating Acceleo should expect API break. As a result, several bundles of Acceleo 3 may move to version 4.0.0 in order to indicate the API incompatibility. Since the generators created by our users will stay compatible even with those changes, this release will not involved a change in the version number of the project. The release of Acceleo for Eclipse Luna will be Acceleo 3.5.0.
Among those changes, we can find:
- Acceleo will move to Java 6.
- The traceability will be deprecated in order to focus on improving the core features.
- The extension point used to create alternative Acceleo engine will be deprecated too (it was only there for the traceability engine).
- The Acceleo 2 automatic migration will be deprecated since it has now been several years since the introduction of Acceleo 3.0.
- The internationalization of the bundles will be improved
The details of this work and its integration on the master branch for Acceleo 3.5.0 can be found on the Acceleo wiki. All this work may not be completed for the 3.5.0 release and it will be continued afterward with the removal of some outdated components and the introduction of some API breakage for those who are programmatically using Acceleo.
All the messages that can be displayed to the end users are internationalized and you can use an OSGi fragment to provide additional languages to Acceleo.
Acceleo 3.5.0 will be compatible with:
- Stand alone Java 6 runtime
- Eclipse 3.7 Indigo
- Eclipse 3.8 Juno
- Eclipse 4.3 Kepler
- Eclipse 4.4 Luna
The OCL interpreter provided with Acceleo will only be compatible with Acceleo and OCL Luna since it require new APIs provided by the OCL project for the Luna release.
