| RE: [gmf-dev] GMF build questions... |
Hi Steve, 1. It is operational now, for the most part. I am traveling back home today, so should have it cleaned up and exposed tomorrow or over the weekend. I'd like to start synchronizing with the platform release schedule as soon as we can. As we have "opted-in" to the main release for next June, we will need to be synchronized no later than the Nov. 4th M3 timeframe. 2. Our goal for release 1.0 is to align with 3.2, so it's the minimum requirement we have. Perhaps we should have a quick conference call next week to synch up on this and the overall plan? 3. The build also executes the junit tests. This is one of the issues I mentioned above that will be easier to troubleshoot when I get the CruiseControl reporting site exposed. This should be done tomorrow. Regarding the other platforms, I have a Win2K and Linux box available in addition to the WinXP machine we are using for the CruiseControl builds. Anyone want to contribute other platforms? 4. Batik seems to be the only 3rd party dependency GMF has, as Antlr looks to be an EMFT dependency. I have considered packaging it as a dependent feature, but I'm not sure I see the issue with bundling it as a GMF plug-in. Are there similar concerns about Ant, JUnit, etc.? Either way, it shouldn't be a problem to configure options as you list below. Right now, I have configured the following builds: - runtime (just those binaries needed to run a GMF-produced application) - sdk (all graphical definition, generation, and runtime plug-ins, with generated source feature/plug-in) - tests (all unit tests, for execution with dependent sdk build) - examples (all examples, with generated source feature/plug-in) I'm open to more, but assume this is a good starting point. Again, as soon as I get our development update site and cruise control reporting site exposed, we can have a better discussion about these points. Sorry for the delay.

Hi Rich, I have some questions about the GMF build that is being instrumented. 1. Is the goal to have this operational for the M2 Eclipse 3.2 milestone? Sept 23 (?) 2. Is the target going to be against Eclipse 3.2 stream? If so, should the jar be still binary compatible with 3.1.x ? 3. Are we planning to automate the JUnit runs with the build? If so, will it be run against multiple platform targets? Looking at the GEF site, it looks like they run tests against linux_gtk and win2k. I'm not sure if these are automated are not (I can find out). 4. Deployment issues: It looks like the initial goal is to create a single jar for clients to consume. However, I'm assuming the Batik and Antrl plug-ins would remain separate jars? I think this is important because some clients may not wish to include additional open source jars in their product for legal reasons. Additionally we should consider alternate deployment scenarios that may be desirable. Here's some possibilities: - Batik extension of Runtime (gmf_runtime_batik.jar + batik.jar) To isolate the batik open source dependency - RCP version of Runtime (gmf_runtime_rcp.jar) For clients wishing to create RCP applications - IDE version of Runtime (gmf_runtime_ide.jar) Separating out the IDE dependency - Runtime (gmf_runtime_rcp.jar + gmf_runtime_ide.jar + gmf_runtime_batik.jar) - DSL toolkit (gmf_dsl.jar + Runtime) Thoughts? -Steve ________________________________________ Steven R.
