[mdt-eodm.dev] Re: [modeling-pmc] MDT (EODM, UML2 Tools) Graduation


I've submitted https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=191537 for EODM and https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=191540 for UML2 Tools. Lei and Michael, please make the required changes ASAP.

Re: [modeling-pmc] MDT (EODM, UML2 Tools) Graduation






Thanks, Nick, I'll be submitting bugs against EODM and UML2 Tools shortly. We should probably also update all the bugs in these components that are targeted against the wrong milestone (e.g. 2.0 -> 0.9 for EODM, 1.0 -> 0.8 for UML2 Tools).

Re: [modeling-pmc] MDT (EODM, UML2 Tools) Graduation







I'll update the build tools so that zips and jars will be numbered 0.9
and 0.8 for EODM and UML2Tools, respectively. Component leads will
need to update their manifest.mf and feature.xml files to match. Kenn,
if you want to open bugs for those work items, please cc: me on them.

Thanks,

Nick
