RE: [dsdp-mtj-dev] Going from mdl to source code

Kevin, I'm tired to explain the same thing repeatedly.
 
You must read the EMF generation web-pages, there the model generation is explained enough deeply.
There is no sense for me to write the same in a new document.
(as from a legal perspective, I cannot send you a document thats content is from an IBM tech. web-article as my own writing)
 
The proper headers you have to set with configuring the EMF with the proper header information.
Examples of that pls. see http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/pdfs/sg246302.pdf on page 80.
 
Kevin, if you go through the pointed documentation, you see that everyting is fully public information and there is no
hidden secrets here. The only thing is that you have to know that what you are doing.
 
I'm hoping that you can find the time to read the related documents, do some tests and conclude your goal to generate the src from the model.
 
After reading these mails, their attitude and hearing the discussion from the last telco, I feel really sad about the situation now.
I would feel much more better if here would be discussion about how to do the missing tasks and reach the projects milestones, than discuss
about e.g. protectionism.

Arto,

Just provide the instructions.  As it turns out, your recent changes reinstated the use of the fields that were ignored, so changes are not necessary.  However, the documentation is.  Get over your protectionist attitude and provide the information.  If you have others who are able to do it, have them provide the information.  I don't care who documents it, as long as the entire set of steps from set-up to completion are provided.  You state in your mail that you have do make changes to get the license information in.  Steps like that need to be documented.

Kevin,
 
What is going over here?
 
The information is totally public for everybody and now YOU should calm down.
 
Certainly the model driven development do have one "risk" and that is the model management. As now our Rose UML has been in the CVS for public access and
it certainly would be nice if you would like to take action to make improvements to manage the mode, even propose design changes through that.
As you state that you may have some improvements to the model, where is the design? A UML or word document would help all others to understand your goals
and the design in your side.
 
As we do have agreed on earlier that the model should not be changed and generated in many places, cause of the risk that the new model would cause some
malfunction or bugs. You self have agreed and said that it should not be done parallel in many places.
 
As you have not been willing to expose the design behind of your changes, it would certainly be very nice to everybody to know that what the design change is and
is it supporting the active, high priority tasks and our release plan.
 
My worry is that some persons would like to change the model for some external products needs without having discussion with the project members,
do not actually focus to the agreed tasks and the release plan.
 
As it seems that you have send a lot of mail to many places, it would be nice that you explain a bit more about your goals and what you are doing?
 
By going through the CVS and seeing that what has been done by each person and comparing that to the agreed task list, it feels a bit sad that you have not been able to
proceed in the main agreed tasks. As you state in your private mail that you have had holiday
It seems that the Usersupplied plug-in has been your main task (is that somehow supporting the IBM internal tooling?, not anyway any external usage).
Why you cannot discuss more open on this and expose your needs and we could all agree about the design around that.  
 
There is not secret or hidden issues around the EMF usage. Thus, it does have an issue that there are a lot of dependencies, so any changes must be discussed in advance
with the project members. I wish that you could also agree on that.
The EMF generation is fully normal EMF usage, take the Rose model and generate it to EMF model, then generate the src from that.
 
Please see these URLs for example:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/indextools.cgi/org.eclipse.emf/doc/org.eclipse.emf.doc/references/overview/EMF.html
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/indextools.cgi/org.eclipse.emf/doc/org.eclipse.emf.doc/tutorials/clibmod/clibmod.html
 
The normal generation does not ask, nor figure out the license header, so you have to modify the generator to apply the proper header file.
The model can be generated by who ever, the only wish is that the person should know what he is doing.
 
With totally unrelated to this, I have done some studies around the EMF with other developers and they could independently generate needed EMF model and source
code from an Rose UML. So, I do not feel it as a show stopper if I have not written any other documentation about the model management, cause it is following
exactly the public and known web-based information. Certainly there is a burden to learn it.
 
I do have a proposal that we should concentrate against the high priority tasks and not bundle here some other issues.
My first priority is the MTJ related work around the agreed top priority tasks and all other support for other products is coming in second priority.
 
A question to you Kevin, in what agreed tasks are you working now and how these are helping the project to achieve the release?
 
I did try to call you yesterday (16:30 GMT+3), but was it too early for you?
 
ps. I'm surprised and glad on your care to my health, thanks.

Arto,


Provide the details so that there is not a single person who controls the information  What happens if you get hit by a bus on the way home tonight?

First, why do you want to generate the EMF code again, what changes are you doing there?

I have copied again the related src to the cvs, have you checked the cvs?

 

Can you send your rose model that we could see the changes?

Arto,


I see how EMF works.  The problem is that you promised to provide the steps that you use to go from Rose Model to EMF code so that when the code is generated the code matches the existing code.  Just generating code from a model does not match the existing code, and we don't want to regression test the differences. You stated, during the last conference call, that you figured out the steps that you took to make the code match, and promised documentation about those steps on May 21st.  It as also a recurring theme during the previous development cycle that was not provided.  I do not want to just generate the code using the defaults, and have multiple changes that break our use since some of the supporting structures are different when the code is generated.


Please send the information, and we can stop wasting cycles repeating ourselves.

Kevin,


On how EMF works, please see:

http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/

The changes that we are doing in the codebase, are agreed in earlier (also by you).

If there are some new bugs, we have to fix those when that is needed.


Instead of having so much mail writing, there could be some real coding with in the project.

Arto--


Send the promised data, or fix the code that you broke, and send the promised data so that we don't have this problem in the future.

There is just one structure in the rpm to duplicate the config that is in the dpp and is no longer being used in the code.

Kevin, as I did fastly compare the models, I did not see your changes.

Could you point me the design changes and reason behind of that?

Arto,

I am trying to resolve the problem I have now that we are not persisting the deviceplatform data. I have looked at adding some configuration data to the device to give me the same items we had in the runtime platform, but can't figure out what the steps are to go from the Rose .mdl file to compatible code in the source tree.

I have looked at the org.eclipse.mtj.core.model plugin and see the MtjEmfModel_1_20.2.genmodel code. If I use this to generate code, the code is different then the code already in CVS. How do you go from this representation to code that matches our existing base.

I found documentation on how to go from a .mdl file to the genmodel code, but if you could document the entire process, that would be great.

If you can't do that quickly, I have checked in the update to the model I made as 1_21, and you can review the changes, and generate the code for now. I am new at doing this, so it may not be correct, but since I couldn't generate the code, I couldn't verify that I did everything correctly.

Thanks.
kevin
