[mxf-dev] Wish to take over MXF, Re: MXF Creation Review results
|
Dear Wayne.
I have not seen anything since April now. I assume thus that the project
will be either closed, or should be taken over from another party.
In the meantime we increased activities on our own model execution
framework, and we definitively would like to take over the project. I
cc'd their mail list to see any reaction from the original people.
The scope of the project needs not be changed, as they positioned it as
an open project, allowing to welcome all MXF, not only the original
proposed one. Thus we will be open for the original contributions, and
others coming from the TopcaseD area (see discussion on mail list).
In additon to the original scope, we will much more be focused on
project collaboration with other Modeling projects, mainly those
implementing OMG standards, such as ECore, OCL, QVTO, Acceleo, and DI
from TopcaseD. Here the points we will bring to the scene:
- ECore will be the basis for all metamodels, such that other modeling
projects for persistence (such as CDO) and different ways to express
syntax (visual, textual, tree/table) can be added easily
- Reuse of expression languages of other projects (OCL, imperative
extension of OCL from QVTO, and newer ones like XBase)
We especially intend to use the project to make sure that topics such as
dynamic/static binding of operation calls, overriding/overloading,
multiple inheritance are solved the same way as in ECore/Java. (we filed
Bugzillas for this topic in the OCL project, which where already
partially fixed)
From our side we will contribute one MXF framework called XOCL, which
is simply a set of standardized OCL annotations for ECore models. This
is, as Ed Merks mentions simply a usage of existing stuff, not much new.
Michael Golubev will bring the knowledge to the scene, how to do the
builds and will help me to follow all the Eclipse processes. He is the
component lead for GMF Tooling and UML2 Tools.
Thus: there needs nothing to be added to the original plan.
Please let us know how to proceed.
Regards,
Philipp

Hi Philipp./
The project appears to be dead on arrival :-)
I will check with the PMC and project founders to see what their plans
are. Hopefully you'll see some activity from the project.

Dear Anne.
Has there been any news since 7.4.2009?
I have neither seen the Eclipse page, nor the initial code contribution.
Any input welcome. I will as well try to contact the founders of the
project as soon as I find time.
Regards,
Philipp

Hello all,
Since there has *not* been a request from a member of the Eclipse
community to hold this review on a conference call, there will be no
Review Call tomorrow (April 8, 2009).
The EMO has declared this review to be successful based on the review
docuware and on community feedback. Congratulations to the MXF team on
their successful review.
Please contact emo@xxxxxxxxxxx with any questions. Thanks.
