[mdt-ocl.dev] Examples progress

[Ed Willink <ed@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

My plan was to have the pivot and editor ready for promotion at M4 so 
that other committers could provide their review comments in time for 
M6. Well that just isn't going to happen. I haven't managed to do as 
much OMG work in work time as I planned and so I'm now doing OMG work in 
my own time.

The availability of direct OCL to Java generation means that Eclipse OCL 
needs accurate UML OCL for the structural model to merge with accurate 
OCL OCL for the OCL AST. The need for accurate UML OCL seems very timely 
given that UML2.5 is just about ready to try to get its OCL accurate. 
With Kenn's exatr support for UML 2.4, I've therefore improved the 
Complete OCL tooling so that the UML 2.5 XMI can be loaded and edited. 
I'll be presenting this to the OMG meeting in Santa Clara in two weeks. 
The new tooling now allows me to produce useful constraints for the 
pivot; which I hope to push to master just after M4.

Anyway if the code isn't ready to review by M4, I'm sure there is even 
less chance for other committers to review by M6, so the examples 
promotion must slip to M1. This should give the 'full' release cycle for 
review and to incorporate feedback from Obeo, who I hope will start to 
exploit code generation in Acceleo.
