Re: [tigerstripe-dev] Generator versions

Title: Re: [tigerstripe-dev] Generator versions

Yes, the current situation is that the Generator download page ( http://www.eclipse.org/tigerstripe/generators/ ) directs the users to the CVS repository directly which makes it difficult to keep track of versions indeed.

So, we need to consider:

• generator changes for generator fixes.
• generator changes for Tigerstripe version updates.
  

We also need to consider:

• distributing generator source code, vs generator ready-to-deploy
  

Finally, as we grow the list... It will become painful to build these by hand, and this should probably be automated.

I’m certainly not offering a solution yet :-), but hoping to help find it...

Maybe something to discuss next week f2f? I’ve added it as a “candidate topic” for discussion on http://wiki.eclipse.org/TigerstripeF2F_20080716

All,

the "generators" that we are sharing with the world are not versioned in CVS.

This is a problem, because for example I have  made the change to add Packages to the metamodel, and now the xml and documentation plugins could use that but it will break existing users.

Can we discuss how this should be handled?

Thanks,

Richard
