The release deliverables for the Eclipse (MDT) OCL 6.0 release have the same form as is found in most Eclipse projects, namely:
- OCL All-in-One P2 repository (downloadable and update site).
- OCL tests (downloadable)
- OCL examples (downloadable and update site)
Eclipse OCL 6.0 will use GIT for source control.
Eclipse OCL 6.0 will primarily target Eclipse 4.5.
Eclipse OCL 6.0.0 source code will be available as versions tagged "Mars" in the project's GIT repository.
The Eclipse OCL 6.0 project will be developed in parallel, and released simultaneously, with the
following projects.
- Eclipse Platform SDK version 4.5
- Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) version 2.11
- Model Development Tools (MDT) UML2 version 5.1
- Xtext 2.8
As described above, the Eclipse OCL 6.0.0 release should address usability of the editors.
The main OCL plugins should be unaffected, but the associated examples plugins may be revised significantly.
Again as described above, the Eclipse OCL 6.0.0 release for Mars will introduce significant new APIs
in a new namespace that replaces the old. The old namespace will be deprecated once all
Simultaneous Release projects have migrated to the new namespace.
The Eclipse Platform is designed as the basis for internationalized products. The user interface elements provided by the Eclipse SDK components, including dialogs and error messages, are externalized. The English strings are provided as the default resource bundles. As a result, the Eclipse OCL project will provide English strings in its default bundles and be localized to a subset of those locales offered by the Platform.
In order to remain current, each Eclipse release targets reasonably current versions of the underlying operating environments. The Eclipse Object Constraint Language (OCL) project depends upon on the Platform and other projects, which are mostly "pure" Java.
The 4.5 release of the Eclipse Platform Project is mostly written and compiled against version 7.0 of the Java Platform APIs, and targeted to run on version 7.0 of the Java Runtime Environment, Standard Edition.
Eclipse OCL used to target the same Java version as EMF and UML2, which was Java 5. Legacy parts of Eclipse OCL may continue to work with Java 5.
Eclipse Platform SDK 4.5 will be tested and validated on a number of reference platforms. Eclipse OCL will be tested and validated against a subset of those listed for the platform.
