Eclipse MoDisco 0.13.0 (Mars)

Release Date
Deliverables

This document lays out the feature and API set for the next release of the Eclipse MoDisco framework (MoDisco Project), version 0.13.0. This project plan inherits from the Modeling Project Plan, which should be referenced when consulting this individual project plan.

This release is not supposed to propose major enhancements or advanced new features, but is rather intended to deal with bug fixing, performance improvement and compatibility with Eclipse Mars. Also, some important project internal tasks have been performed (e.g. move from SVN to Git).

The release deliverables have the same form as is found in most Eclipse projects, namely:

  • MoDisco SDK (includes runtime, sources, examples, tests and documentation) (downloadable and update site).
Compatibility

Compatibility of Release 0.13.0: The MoDisco project will be developed in parallel, and released simultaneously, with the following Eclipse projects. As stated above, each milestone release of the MoDisco project will be compatible with the corresponding milestones for each of these projects, and delivered at the appropriate offset.

  • Platform SDK version 4.5.0
  • Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) version 2.11.0
  • Connected Data Objects (CDO) version 4.4.0
  • EMF Compare version 3.1.0
  • EMF Query version 1.9.0
  • EMF Validation version 1.9.0
  • EMF Facet version 1.0.0
  • UML2 version 4.3.0
  • OCL version 6.0.0
  • ATL version 3.6.0
  • Acceleo version 3.6.0
  • Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT) version 4.5.0
Internationalization

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 MoDisco project will provide English strings in its default bundles and be localized to a subset of those locales offered by the Platform.

Target Environments

In order to remain current, each Eclipse release targets reasonably current versions of the underlying operating environments. The Eclipse MoDisco project depends upon on the Platform and other projects, which are mostly "pure" Java. MoDisco will target the same Java version as EMF. Eclipse Platform SDK 4.5 will be tested and validated on a number of reference platforms. MoDisco will be tested and validated against a subset of those listed for the platform.
