[mdt-ocl.dev] org.eclipse.ocl.examples.build plug-in

[Ed Willink <ed@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I'm defining the pivot model as a variant UML merge so generation 
involves a UML Package Merge and a UML GenModel Reload, giving an 
excessive number of 'manual' steps. Genmodel for CST models and editor 
generation also requires too many 'manual' steps that I sometimes forget.

I've therefore been improving the MWE editor generation with a view to 
providing MWE2 scripts for all major 'manual' stages and a 
GenerateAll.mwe2 that combines them all.

Since MWE2 scripts have substantial dependencies, I put the editor 
scripts in the releng plugin for Helios. Now that there are a number of 
Java helpers too and even more dependencies, the releng plugin does not 
seem appropriate, so I propose an org.eclipse.ocl.examples.build plugin 
for all the MWE2 scripts, which should eventually do everything; even 
LPG once promoted to org.eclipse.ocl.build.

Does this make sense to everyone?

Adolfo; it means all the MWE stuff does not need copying to the 
Buckminster releng plugin. GenerateAll.mwe2 should be manually invoked 
to provide revised CVS content, so there is no need for the Buckminster 
build to invoke it.

When we move to GIT, we might decide that MWE provides a predictable 
enough complete generator to avoid storing generated files in GIT. I'm 
not at all sure about this; I have complained about other projects not 
CVSing generated Java.
