Re: [bpmn2-modeler-dev] Target Platform improvements 
Hi Bob,
Don't know if eclipse.org accepts contributions other than send a patch file in a bugzilla item. Maybe after the git migration this could be changed...
But before I can create the patch file I would like that you have a look at the branch I've created here: https://github.com/cvgaviao/bpmn2-modeler/tree/tycho_improvement 

just to certify it is ok. Let me know...

cheers

Yes, like I said "Graphiti is a moving target". I know there were some breaking API changes going from 0.6 to 0.8 - don't know if 0.9 will work on helios, indigo and juno but if it does, we might think about moving to that version...

Hi,

Now I'm understanding Bob's warnings points in last email... :)

But I could create the p2 and target projects. It seems to be ok on
indigo.

But I couldn't find a solution for juno, because I just figure out
now
that graphiti has some api changes in version 0.9 (that is the
version
for juno), as this:


/**
  * The Class DiagramEditorFactory.
  *
  * A factory for creating DiagramEditorInput objects.
  *
  * @see {@link DiagramEditorInputFactory}
  * @see {@link DiagramEditorInput}
  * @since 0.9 results from renaming DiagramEditorFactory


I'm thinking here and initialy I don't know if would be possible to
build against both graphiti's 0.8.1 and 0.9.0 using same git tree
code
in such case... would ?

what do you think guys ?

cheers

Hi Cristiano,

As you know, this project is still in its infancy and development
is "fast and furious" and we welcome all contributions, but keep
in mind:

* the BPMN2 metamodel project is still not where it needs to be,
that's why I'm keeping a link to a temporary update site
* graphiti is a "moving target" and trying to build an editor on
top of this platform is a challenge

Any help you can provide to improve this project is welcomed!

Hi guys,

I got happy to see that bpmn2-modeler is part of eclipse now, and
happy
to see lot of improvements since last time I worked with the
editor
from
github. Congratulations to all team.

But I got some problems installing the plugin from the created
update
site.

After clone the source, I saw some outdated things within the
tycho
build, mainly in the org.eclipse.bpmn2.modeler.updatesite.feature,
that
is not creating the site.zip properly. I got some difficult to
create
a
target platform properly inside the IDE, too.

So I would like to propose some improvements:

- move the site project to a p2 repository project instead;
     Besides, using a P2 repo let us to create Composite
     Repositories,
     so
we can facilitate the installation of the plugin and all
dependencies
using only one p2 address.

- create a target platform description project (containing one
target
file per eclipse version, helios/indigo/juno) to easy creation of
the
dev environment at IDE; actually, this is better than work with
repositories at pom, because it will be cases where we need to
build
with different dependencies components versions depending which
IDE
version (for example: EMF, 2.7 at Indigo and 2.8 at Juno).

- add a juno profile at main pom;


cheers

Cristiano
