Hi

You are looking at minor dependencies for which the OCL aspect is 
unwise/obsolete/irrelevant.

The major dependencies are QVTo and  Papyrus; other projects should wait 
to see what these projects do.

The constraint aspect of Papyrus is heavily dependent on the new Eclipse 
OCL that exploits Xtext. This is unlikely to survive long before the 
infrastructure needs an at least minor rebuild. The OCL usage of Xtext 
uniquely avoids tight coupling but some Xtext evolutions tend to require 
a compatibility tweak.

QVTo is heavily dependent on the old Classic Eclipse OCL that is very 
stable. However an infrastructure evolution will eventually break it. If 
the remaining QVTo committer is enthusiastic, the classic OCL plugins 
could be folded into QVTo and, if exported, could be used to satisfy the 
minor dependencies.

(QVTd is still an incubation project that has failed to popularize an 
OMG standard. It has very few users. Not needed in SimRel.)
