VIATRA/DeveloperMeetingMinutes/Meeting20180308

Topics

• Current status: Bugzilla Gerrit AERI
• VIATRA 2.0 status
  • Java 8 features in pattern matcher API
    • API Break: getOneArbitraryMatch returns Optional<Match> instead of Match or null
    • New method: streamAllMatches
    • IMatchProcessor replaced with Java 8 Consumers
  • M3 next week
• 1.7.2 planned
• VIATRA 1.7 broke the Sphinx integration (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=531506), what can we do to avoid such breakages in the future? (e.g. run artop-viatra integration tests regularly)

Minutes

    • IMatchProcessor should be either removed or generated match processors should be extending IMatchProcessor still
    • If we keep IMatchProcessor deprecated, it will stay until 3.0
