Minutes

  • Default: 1.5. Semantics (off by default)
• AERI reports: several trivial issues fixed
• New features
  • Testable private features: done and merged to master
  • Test coverage: cover constraints of given set of queries planning meeting done
• Guava in OSGi
  • TODO Zoltan: evaluate Guava usage in generated code
  • We are also actively monitoring other projects (Papyrus, Xtext)
• Duplicate events in base index
  • Small fix merged to better identify problems
  • Options for default: log only (current behavior) or strict mode
  • Strict, as it seems equivalent to current behavior (FATAL level log) with a better error message

  • Install metamodels in host
  • Enable experimental target platform metamodel caching otherwise
