[epf-dev] New version of OpenUP library using Composer M4 build

[Ricardo Balduino <balduino@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone, 

There is a new version of OpenUP available
for download at http://www.eclipse.org/epf/downloads/openup/openup_downloads.php


To open this library, please use Milestone
4 build. The meta-model has changed in this milestone requiring the
library to be upgraded. 
The library available in CVS (and in
the downloads area of EPF web site) has been upgraded already, and it cannot
be used with older versions of Composer.

Attention committers who have
write-access to CVS: Please DO NOT use M3 build to author content for OpenUP
anymore. Install milestone 4 build available here: http://www.eclipse.org/epf/downloads/tool/epf1.0_m4_downloads.php

In order to avoid potential file inconsistency
in your local copy of the OpenUP library, please DO NOT use the current
repository/workspace you are working with M3        
build. Please follow these steps

1) Open the new M4 build installed,
pointing to the default installed library (or any temporary library)
2) Setup the "notifications to
CVS server": go to menu Window -> Preferences, select Team - CVS
- Watch/Edit and follow instructions
3) Create a new local repository in
your EPF Composer workspace. With that, you should be able to check out
the library from CVS, which already is in the new format.
4) After checking out to a new local
repository, make Composer to point (File -> Open) to this new library
and work from there.

Details on how to perform steps 2 and
3 above can be found on "Using EPF Composer with a Version Control
System", appendix C "Support for CVS":

This process shouldn't be that painful
:-) Please let me know if you need assistance.

Cheers,
