Re: [modeling-pmc] UML2 and Photon

Good news, funding is now in place to ensure that UML2 is supported and maintained for the Photon series of releases.

Ed,

Yeah, it's certainly less than ideal. Note also that UML2 builds will stop working (as will other Buckminster-based builds) early next year when the Eclipse Foundation disables the CLI signing service. So some minimal investment of time/energy will be required in order to maintain the status quo for Photon...

Kenn,

That's pretty bad for Papyrus, parts of OCL, and parts of EMF Compare.  :-(  And I'm not sure which other release-train parts are downstream of those parts...

Downstream consumers should note that parts of UML2 (i.e., the generator parts) don't work with the latest EMF (i.e., the generator parts of it) because any changes I make to the GenModel  (and I made many changes recently) require UML2's extended GenModel to take action.  So we can't just feed the Oxygen version of UML2 into the Photon train (at least not all of UML2's parts).

Ed

PMC,

I just wanted to give you a heads up that there are currently no plans for UML2 to participate in the upcoming Photon simultaneous release, due to lack of funding. Unfortunately, this means that dependencies will break when the aggregation file is disabled by the EMO immediately following M4.

If anyone is interested (or knows someone who might be interested) in helping ensure that UML2 is kept up to date and that it can participate in the Photon release, please reach out to me directly.

Thanks,

Kenn
