Minutes

EMF-IncQuery

• IncQuery and Gradle
  • interesting to see, no support yet
  • Zoli will communicate with Xtext developers on missing features for supporting Gradle
  • no priority unless specific request
• UML cacheAdapter
  • Lesson learned: UML resources needs to be unloaded explicitly
• Target platform packages
  • Loading metamodel from jar file in target platform does not work
  • Found workaround in EMF: loading a URI mapping to the ResourceSet
    • We are afraid it might have side effects
    • However, it would be nice to include it into 1.1
  • Decision: merge and evaluate
• Local search/alternative backends
  • Minor API break -> only local search users are affected
  • Decision: let’s do this for 1.2
• MPS-IncQuery
  • evaluation of query performance on C code
• bugzilla review
  • some bugs assigned to Dini may have to be postponed

VIATRA

• bugzilla review
• debugger demo by Péter Lunk
