Model Builder (Eclipse-based) Eclipse 3 Refreshing look and feel Common platform for our tools Plug-in architecture Team plug-in

Model Builder (Added Features) Syntax Highlighting for Activity Editors Double-click access to parse and audit errors Cut/copy/paste on the diagrams Undo/redo/revert on the diagrams Nested Packages Nicer behavior on existing diagrams – drawing, grabbing, zooming

Model Builder (More Features) Package-based Version Control Search facility Sequence Chart Use Case Notes

Model Verifier Plug-in based on Eclipse Debugger Framework for integration with EDGE later in the year Additional features such as multi- domain, breakpoints, audits

MC-3020 (Persistence) Persistent classes and links Marking individual classes and/or subsystems persistent Works with any non-volatile storage (NVS) technology Explicit user synchronized "commit to NVS" operation Compact storage

MC-3020 (Multi-tasking) Nucleus PLUS Tasks Class and domain allocation

MC2020/MC-3020 (Integration with Eclipse) MC Integration with a GUI!!! Build button Minimal integration at first, then with EDGE build environment.

MC-2020/MC-3020 (Harmonization) Alignment of the following features: –Installation –Marking –Documentation (a la Mentor standard) –Build environment –Mechanisms –Archetypes

Model Builder (Productivity Features) Plug-ins –Domain Chart Editor –Bridge Editor xtUML extensions –Actions on transitions –Inheritance –Instance reference passing –Enhanced data type support –In-sync with Executable UML Book

Model Debugger/Verifier (Harmonization) Same UI, different back-end Combines features from both tools – the best of both worlds Integration with Nucleus EDGE –“View” from OAL to assembly –Multi-level breakpoints Host and target support

Legacy Integration Tool Wizard-like interface Parses header files Provides a list of function prototypes Group and associate with External Entities Organize header files for Model Compiler

MC-2020/MC-3020 (Productivity Features) Actions on transitions Inheritance Instance reference passing Enhanced data type support In-sync with Executable UML Book

MC-2020/MC-3020 (Integration with Model Debugger) Add support for debug protocol changes Additional protocols Harmonization of MC-2020/MC-3020

Mako – Generator Replacement (Commence work) Fast, fast, fast Quick turnaround from Δ to code gen Same features as Gen today –Arbitrary schema –Instance populations Archetype compilation Multiple languages

2006 and beyond Tools Marking Editor Instance Editor Merge Coverage/Profiling Integrations Requirements Doc Generation Matlab Mentor prods MC’s MT II SIMdx Java UML 2.0 Metamodel Diagrams Profiles XMI
