Where are we?

Milestones

Reqirements changed  Input systems must now have the same structure  Module instances shall not be explicitly chosen for the new system  Less dependencies between operations  History tree different

Project model decided  More solutions available  The best solution was the merge  UML specification  Solution

Solution  Using Merlin eclipse plugin  Generates code using EMF & GEF  Big job: adjusting genreated MCV architecture to fit our system  Half-automated build  XSD specification of the core system  Coding started

Model  System model

Model  History & engine  Views architecture  Perspective architecture  GUI  Complete use cases

Merlin Generator free Eclipse plugin connection between EMF and GEF (models and graphics) code generation advanced model transformation tools why to use it: increased productivity, saved time

GUI Specification (Modules)

GUI Specification(workspace)

GUI Specification(history)

GUI Specification(Selecting)

Problems  Code adjustment  Custom properties windows  History drawing  XSD representation of entire system is hard  Once generated code is hard to reshape for different model.
