[lyo-dev] OSLC Automation samples in Lyo

[Michael Fiedler <fiedler.mf@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'd like to announce two new OSLC Automation samples in Eclipse Lyo

1.  An initial version of a provider reference implementation for the
OSLC Automation V2 Specification [1].
   * See:  http://wiki.eclipse.org/Lyo/AutomationRIO and
   * Implements synchronous and asynchronous automation styles (see
the Automation spec for details)
   * Contains a default AutomationPlan to execute an arbitrary system
command and return the results in the AutomationResult
   * For arbitrary AutomationRequests, creates corresponding results
   * Honor PUTs which request state changes

     Still to be done - hopefully coming soon
   * Delegated UIs for creation/selection
   * HTML and OSLC Compact representations of resources
   * OSLC Query support, especially for AutomationResults

2. Paul McMahan has contributed an Automation consumer sample which
can be found in the client repository.   The sample is an automation
execution adapter designed for an upcoming release of Rational Quality
Manager and more details will be provided on it as the release
approaches.  In the meantime, the code (especially
RQMAutomationSample#handleAutomationRequest(), can give some examples
of patterns that can be used when interacting with an Automation
provider.  There are also Java classes representing Automation
resources in the client library.

Questions or comments? Reply on-list.
