Presentation Transcript

  1. Where are we?

  2. Milestones

  3. Reqirements changed • Input systems must now have the same structure • Module instances shall not be explicitly chosen for the new system • Less dependencies between operations • History tree different

  4. Project model decided • More solutions available • The best solution was the merge • UML specification • Solution

  5. Solution • Using Merlin eclipse plugin • Generates code using EMF & GEF • Big job: adjusting genreated MCV architecture to fit our system • Half-automated build • XSD specification of the core system • Coding started

  6. Model • System model

  7. Model • History & engine • Views architecture • Perspective architecture • GUI • Complete use cases

  8. Merlin Generator • free Eclipse plugin • connection between EMF and GEF (models and graphics) • code generation • advanced model transformation tools • why to use it: increased productivity, saved time

  9. Merlin Generator • example • screenshots taken from actual Eclipse plugin

  10. GUI Specification(Modules)

  11. GUI Specification(workspace)

  12. GUI Specification(history)

  13. GUI Specification(Selecting)

  14. Problems • Code adjustment • Custom properties windows • History drawing • XSD representation of entire system is hard • Once generated code is hard to reshape for different model.
