Dear
all,
An essential piece of TOPCASED modelling
environment is the scripting engine, used by model designers
to automate some project-specific or boring activities like
modifying the font of some elements in all diagrams. As
described on the Scripting wiki, it is heavily based on
EclipseMonkey and PythonMonkey, adding mainly some DOM to
make model scripting easier and some related example
scripts.
We are now about to start the migration of the
major components of TOPCASED to Eclipse and PolarSys,
including the scripting feature: I think it is a chance to
revive the Eclipse scripting project. It also means that it
is the moment to discuss and decide project organization,
functional/technical needs and architecture.
So the question is: beyond ATOS and AIRBUS,
directly involved in this part of TOPCASED migration, who is
interested in resurrecting the scripting project at Eclipse
and participating as a committer or contributor? As our
deadline for the migration is October/December 2013, we need
to start very soon: I would therefore like to organize a
telcon with most interested parties around August 20th
to initiate the process. Meanwhile, it would be great if you
could expose your vision, proposals and potential
involvement on this mailing list.
Of course, Arthur Daussy (ATOS) and I would be
pleased to answer the questions you may have J.
