Re: [emf-dev] EMF SDO and EMF Query

[Ed Merks <ed.merks@xxxxxxxxx>]

Anthony,

I think Christian already said he'd keep Query alive.  What does his plan say?

Given the complete silence about terminating SDO, which I interpret as a complete lack of interest in it, I personally think it would be best to remove SDO from Ganymede with an eye to terminating it gracefully.   To facilitate this, we need to split the SDO build from the EMF/XSD build.  I also don't think it's acceptable that the older builds break as a result of physically removing SDO from CVS though, so I still need to talk to the foundation about a more graceful termination process than what was done with EODM, for example.  Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on the perspective), eliminating SDO seems to involve more work than keeping in on artificial life support.

The SDO plan theme is "Pull Back" and includes this commentary:

The EMF SDO project has gained little traction.
It may well make sense to phase out support for SDO.
We'll discuss with the community to determine if there is any reason to provide builds for this release or in the future.
At best we will make only minimal changes to stay current with the platform and EMF Core.
Maintenance builds are still important to some clients.

So if there is a community out there who cares about SDO, they need to step forward to express their interest...

Cheers,
Ed

Hi Ed and Christian.

Since we are close to Galileo M3 and we have not discussed anything further, we have agreed that EMF SDO and EMF Query components will be in the release.

Can you confirm 100% either way?

Cheers...
Anthony
