Hi, all,
The EMF project has had, since Callisto days, a Query component providing a Java API with an SQL-ish feel for structured searches in EObject data. Since its 1.0 release, this component has not added any new features except for keeping up with its dependencies: following EMF Core in adopting J2SE 5.0, and adopting new OCL APIs.
It seems to me that this component never did show much "traction" from the user community and I have no plan to initiate any new work for the Galileo release. A summary of Bugzilla activity looks like this:
- Raised/resolved since the Ganymede (1.2) release: 0 / 0
- Raised/resolved since the Europa (1.1) release: 9 / 9
- Raised/resolved since the Callisto (1.0) release: 11 / 12
-
Raised/resolved since the initial commit: 11 / 10
Note that a significant number of these bugs were releng-type bugs tagged against the Query component but applying to common/replicated artifacts and processes across the EMF Query/Transaction/Validation components and also MDT OCL.
So, my questions to the community are:
- Do you use the EMF Query component?
- Are you interested in continuing to develop the EMF Query component?
- I am happy to help contributors to earn committer rights by working with them on their patches.
Your feed-back is very important to determining whether this component will have a 1.3 release in Galileo, whether it should just produce a maintenance release for Galileo, or whether it should proceed to a Termination Review.
Thanks,
Christian
