[news.eclipse.modisco] Re: New Java AST tool based on Java Abstract Synt

[Gabriel <gBarbier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Dennis and Dimitri,

Have you take a look to the Java Discoverer ? download : https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=258281
It is composed of a metamodel J2SE5 and a discoverer that populate J2SE5 models. It provides also a transformation to 
KDM. It works in a very similar way of your plugin Dennis (popup menu from a Java project "Modisco Modelplex Knowledge 
Discovery -> IntermediateModels -> Discover J2SE5 model from Java project").

In fact, J2SE5 metamodel is not very different from JavaAST, I believe there is only 10/15 different metaclasses. We 
have added metaclasses to represents binding between java elements. So relationships are not represented only by a 
string, we rebuild also the graph of elements links.


I have not upgraded JavaAST project because of historics (J2SE5 metamodel is born 3 years ago) and I didn't realize that 
I could change a lot JavaAST project (I'm a newcomer in Eclipse Community).


And you could also be interested in a model browser that allow metaclass sort, an infinite view of links, etc.
