Quality Analysis
Examples of rules
Yearly simultaneous release
Version number ends with « qualifier »
Source code must use ICU4J classes
The project must contain an « about.html » file
Packages name should start with the plug-in ID
Plug-in must not contain JARs files
Plug-in should contain only one « message.properties » and « Message.java » files
Mia-Software internal rules
“PLUGIN_ID” variable of “Activator.java” should be initialized with the plug-in Id
Plug-in Id and Project name should be equal
«Bundle-Vendor» property value of « MANIFEST.MF » should be « %providerName »
« plugin.properties » should declare a « providerName » property
«Bundle-Name» property value of « MANIFEST.MF » should be « %pluginName »
« plugin.properties » should declare a « pluginName » property

Refactoring
Runs Eclipse 3.x plug-ins into E4
Strategy #1: Generate an E4 Plug-in from a 3.x Plug-in
Problem:
The new plug-in can’t run in 3.x => 2 plug-ins to maintain
Strategy #2: Use the backward compatibility layer
Problem:
The compatibility layer doesn’t support all the existing plug-ins
A solution :
Refactor the E3 plug-in for the backward compatibility layer
3.x

Refactoring
Example:
To be visible in E4, menus must be explicitly created by an ActionProvider
• Java source code
=> New ActionProvider subclass to create the menu
• Plugin.xml
=> New extension (org.eclipse.ui.navigator.navigatorContent )
• MANIFEST.MF
=> New required bundle (org.eclipse.ui.navigator)

Editor's Notes

  • #3 The approach we propose with MoDisco consists in creating fine-grained models from the different kinds of artifacts which compose an existing system. From these models we can extract specific viewpoints to understand the existing system. And these models can also be used to regenerate a new version of the system.
  • #4 MoDisco is composed of several kinds of components. A first layer provides components which are completely independent from any legacy technology : a Discovery Manager, a Model Browser to navigate through complex models, several extensibility mechanisms to define viewpoints on models, and the implementation of OMG specification which can serve as pivot metamodels. On top these generic components Modisco provides components which are dedicated to specific legacy technologies.
  • #17 The last example is about building plug-ins. We have recently started to work on this problem with CEA (the french nuclear agency), IBM and Atlanmod. The problem when you build a set of plug-ins is that, depending on the content of the update sites declared in your configuration, you don’t know exactly which version of depending plug-ins will really be integrated. The default strategy takes the latest version available for each plugin. We are experimenting a solution, based on a constraint solver, to calculate build configurations depending on other strategies. Each build configuration can be converted into a B3 model or exported to a graphical cartography tool.
