| [mdt-papyrus.dev] [Releng] Adding new plugins in Papyrus project |
|
Hi all, Just a small reminder for every developer of
Papyrus MDT tool. When you create a new plugin for Papyrus: -
Please check that every information
on the plugin is correctly set. For example, the plugin version number is
currently 0.7.0.qualifier. -
The name of the folder on SVN and
the project name must be similar to the identifier of the plugin, this makes life
easier. -
When using internationalization
for plugins, do not forget to add the plugin.properties file, and add it in the
binary build of the project. -
Add a subtask to the “[General]
Add releng task” task (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=263430).
I - or you, even better ;) - have to perform several operations after that:
adding the plugin to the correct feature, adding it to the map file, launch the
build process to see if everything compile, etc. These last days, a lot of plugins were
added to Papyrus. We are all in the rush for the feature freeze, I cannot –
and wish not - spend hours tracking the modification on SVN repository to see
if plugins were added ; whereas putting the task in the bugzilla with me in CC
or assigned warns me that I have more work to do. There is already some doc about this process
in the wiki (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Papyrus_Developer_Guide/Build_Process).
I will modify the main developers wiki page to add a shortcut to this sub-page. Regards, Rémi --------------------------------------- |
