Eclipse OCL (Object Constraint Language) 6.2.0 Neon++

6.2.0 Neon++

Description

This is a 'no-change' release to workround the Xtext 2.9 API breakages.

The Neon 6.1 release preserves Luna/Mars/Neon installibility but imposes Mars Xtext 2.8.4 or earlier for developers wanting to extend OCL.

This Neon++ 6.2 release breaks Luna/Mars installability unless the Neon Xtext 2.10 is also installed. It allows developers to use the Neon Xtext.

API Certification

The project leadership certifies that the APIs in this release are "Eclipse Quality".

Architectural Issues

The project is very model-based with increasing levels of auto-generation from models.

The project is prototyping a convergence between models that form part of the OMG OCL 2.5 specification and models that can be used to auto-generate an implementation.

 

Security Issues

None.

Non-Code Aspects

Documentation is available via Wikitext as a PDF monolith, HTML files or Eclipse Help.

The documentation includes examples and tutorials which remain valid after a refresh for Mars.

The build uses Buckminster on the OCL HIPP.

The run-time is compatible with the Xtext from 2.9.0 to 2.10.

 

Usability Details

OCL Editors are based on Xtext and so follow Xtext practices.

The debugger exploits the standard debugger framework.

Other tooling uses standard widgets.

 

End of Life

There are no specific end of life concerns for this release.
