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.ec
lipse.emf.doc/references/overview/EMF.html
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/indextools.cgi/org.eclipse.emf/doc/org.ec
lipse.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

	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/
<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?

	Importance: High <mailto:dsdp-mtj-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx>  

	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
