Re: [mdt-ocl.dev] Promotion of the Pivot binding and Xtext editors for K

[Ed Willink <ed@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

No. Because I will make time during the Kepler release cycle to review 
the code, since I want a Pivot-compatible version of the IA so that, for 
Kepler, the pivot is a 100% (optional) replacement for the Ecore/UML 
bindings.

To make progress we need a solution to polymorphic dispatch and 
decoupling from the existing OCL Standard Library pseudo-model.

    Regards

        Ed
