| [eclipse.org-members-committers] Project Updates |
|
It's a busy month for project proposals and reviews. I have several
reviews queued up over the next couple of weeks. Normally, we try to
restrict the number of review periods to two per month, but with the
excitement (and, frankly, cramming) leading up to EclipseCon Europe
[1], I'm trying to be a little more accommodating. =Reviews= Three reviews have started this week and will conclude on October 23. GeoMesa Creation Review [2] (LocationTech) GeoMesa provides a foundation for storing, querying, and transforming spatio-temporal data in Accumulo. Code Recommenders 2.0.0 Release Review [3] Code Recommenders 2.0 major goal is to provide a headless API that allows extenders to build new tools on top of Recommenders. Second goal is the development of a new completion engine API on top of JDT that allows to integrate existing completion engines (call, override, chain, subwords, templates) into a single completion engine and over all improves the user experience. EMF Client Platform 1.1.0 Release Review [4] The release introduces view modeling for the ECP editor. We currently have a single project engaging in a release review on October 30 (during EclipseCon Europe): BPMN2 Modeler Project 1.0 Release Review [5] The BPMN2 Modeler is a graphical modeling tool which allows creation and editing of BPMN 2.0 spec compliant diagrams. The tool is built on Eclipse Graphiti and uses the MDT BPMN2 project as the underlying model. This release represents the first stable version of the editor. A little further in to the future, we have one release review on November 6. Mylyn 3.10 Release Review [6] Priorities for the Mylyn 3.10 release: Improve reusability of the tasks framework in headless contexts; UI workflow improvements for the Task Editor; Support for the Gerrit 2.6 and 2.7 REST API; and Support for Hudson 3.1. =Proposals= A few new proposals have arrived. If you have questions or comments regarding any of these proposals, please post them on the Proposals forum [7] CHESS [8] (PolarSys) The CHESS project provides a model-driven, component-based methodology [1] and tool support for the development of high-integrity systems for different domains. The methodology is particularly suited for space systems and industrial domains. Gendoc [9] Gendoc generates documentation for EMF models using document templates in formats such as OpenOffice Writer (.odt) or Microsoft Word (.docx). GeoGit [A] (LocationTech) GeoGit provides a distirbuted version control system for the efficient handling of spatial data. SpatialHadoop [B] (LocationTech) SpatialHadoop is a comprehensive extension to Hadoop that allows efficient processing of spatial data. It injects spatial awareness in the different layers and components of Hadoop to make it more suitable and more efficient to store and process bug spatial data. More specifically, it modifies the storage layer, MapReduce layer and adds a new operations layer. Krikkit [C] The Krikkit Eclipse project provides an API through a software library that will enable a user or developer to 'program' IoT devices such as sensors and make it easy to acquire and manage data. Such a library could also potentially be used as a plug-in in Eclipse frameworks to ease the programming of IoT devices.JTS Topology Suite [D] (LocationTech) The JTS Topology Suite is a Java API of spatial predicates and functions for processing vector geometry. -- As always, if you have any questions, please let me know.
