6.0.0 Mars
The major plugins that support the new prototype OCL 2.5 functionality are promoted from examples to API.
- UML 2.5 aligned models
- Persistable Abstract Syntax
- Extensible modeled library
- Xtext editors
Secondary plugins remain as examples.
- code generator
- console
- debugger
- validity view
The Classic Ecore/UML plugins are still available although deprecated.
Note that, since the OMG OCL 2.4 standard suffers from significant ambiguities and conflicts making a compliant implementation impossible, Eclipse (MDT) OCL 6.0.0 release is a best endeavours attempt to establish a coherent interpretation
of the OMG OCL 2.4 and to prototype resolutions and auto-generation of the OMG OCL 2.5 standard. Two of the Eclipse (MDT) OCL
committers are also members of the OMG Revision Task Force that resolves the specification issues.
The project leadership certifies that the APIs in this release are "Eclipse Quality".
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.
None.
Documentation is available via Wikitext as a PDF monolith, HTML files or Eclipse Help.
The documentation includes examples and tutorials which have been refreshed for Mars.
The build uses Buckminster on the OCL HIPP.
OCL Editors are based on Xtext and so follow Xtext practices.
The debugger exploits the standard debugger framework.
Other tooling uses standard widgets.
There are no specific end of life concerns for this release.
