Re: [m2m-iwg] All-in-one Eclipse package for M2M (Benjamin Cab?) 
Hi Benjamin,
Thanks a lot for the reply and interest to use UOMo in places where it may benefit M2M.
Given the example of the Modelling All-in-one Eclipse package, which at least until recently contained Incubation plug-ins, I also would see that as acceptable, if either Paho or others still had parts in incubation then.
About your questions, there is no "binary" of UCUM, as the standard is more or less like e.g. HTML tags defined to identify certain information and behavior, there, too. Even in HTML5 to some extent UCUM could be embedded btw, at least with that new Measure tag, though its UI representation so far is mostly for simple gauge or progress controls. Most commonly UCUM codes are used in HL7 messages (which you find are exchanged using MQTT in some cases already) or in various markup-languages like MathML, UnitsML, etc. JSON would be another possibility, especially with some of those new IoT APIs like Cosm (prevoiously Pachube) making heavy use of it.
I'll try when I have enough time to look at some examples. The Eclipse Day in Krakow might be too soon, though I will speak about projects formerly under the OHF Umbrella, including STEM and UOMo, so UCUM and use cases are worth mentioning, I just may not have a demo like that ready then. As I have barely any dedicated session, the time around JavaOne might sound good for this. If Eclipse Foundation had the opportunity to present projects again at the booth this year, I may even be able to offer some of that for this occasion. Any other IWG Members expect to be there, e.g. for the special "Java Embedded" tracks? 

Regards,
Werner

Hi Werner,

Providing data conversion facilities, conversion between systems, etc. is
an important topic, and I would actually be very interested to know how we
could leverage UOMo.
I have a few remarks and questions:

- It was discussed during our call yesterday, and there was a slight error
in my original e-mail but: there's no requirement to have all the features
of an EPP package in >1.0 version. But if at least one feature is still in
incubation, the EPP Package will have to be an Incubation package too
(which seems totally reasonable IMO).
- In the strict context of the delivery of an M2M Eclipse package, my
understanding is that the main goal is to include in this package plug-ins
that extend the IDE with new "tools" like new editors, views, etc. Does
UOMo provide this kind of tools?
- Is there a binary representation for UCUM?
- If you have time of course, I think that would be helpful if you could
put together a small demo of UOMo used in the context of a Java MQTT
client, so as to illustrate the possible benefits of the technology.


Thanks!
Benjamin.

Benjamin/all,

Sounds like an interesting idea.
Given, Paho is mostly based on Java, and Wikipedia's explanation of M2M
literally states "M2M uses a device (such as a sensor or meter) to
capture an event (such as temperature, inventory level, etc.), ..."
reliable ways to handle captured events in Java probably can't hurt, thus
Other eclipse plug-ins to assist Paho would ideally contain UOMo, too.

At the moment, UOMo is in Incubation, like Paho, the underlying Unit-API
is currently being contributed to Orbit after all the license and IP
clearance has happened. While the OHF umbrella was archived early this
year, all sub-projects, most importantly the UCUM parts have been a 1.0
version already, so the re-introduction under the UOMo umbrella (just
like STEM has already left the Incubator some time ago) was the only
reason it moved back to Incubation. A 1.0 of UOMo before Kepler projects
are frozen therefore seems quite possible.

There are 2 ways, UOMo can help MQTT clients, either on a low, Message
level through UCUM support (the current client and examples look like
that's the most helpful one at this stage) or where marshalling messages
to actual Java objects (like JAX-B or JSON-B) or let's say EMF Models was
required, UOMo Units helps to ensure unit consistency where unit-relevant
events and messages are dealt with.

All,

Now that Juno is out and that we are in the early days of Kepler, I
would
like to discuss the opportunity of delivering an M2M EPP package for
Kepler.
EPP (Eclipse Packaing Project) packages are ready-to-use Eclipse
distributions targeting a specific audience (e.g. Web developers,
mobile developers,
?). The most obvious way for someone to get one of these packages is to
go
the Downloads page of the eclipse.org website [1] (another useful page
is
[2] ; it lists the contents of all the available packages).

This EPP package would contain the following items:

 *   OMA-DM simulator (Koneki)
 *   Lua Development Tools (Koneki)
 *   MQTT view (Paho)
 *   Tooling for Mihini (Koneki)
 *   Pre-packaged code examples?
 *   M2M models tooling? (depending on what progress will be made on
this
front?)
 *   Other eclipse plug-ins? (EGit comes to mind, especially since it is
likely that some code examples might be available on Git repos)

Some of the required actions to make this happen:

 *   Projects Koneki and Paho would need to release a 1.0 version before
or together with Kepler (June 2013). Koneki will release a 1.0 for
Kepler, I
don't know the plans for Paho?..
 *   There should be a common set of wizard categories, views
categories,
help table of content entries etc. for the different pieces, so as to
get a
smooth user experience (i.e. Every m2m plug-ins are accessible from a
same
location). It should not be a big deal but this needs to be discussed
between Koneki and Paho teams.
 *   The actual EPP package (basically an XML definition file) would
need
to be created and tested/maintained over the time. I am volunteering to
do
this.

What are your thoughts on this? Any ideas on other plug-ins that would
be
worth being included in that distribution?
Anyways, I suggest that we discuss this further during our call
tomorrow.

Benjamin.
