Controlling XML syntax for href attributes

…xmi.impl.XMLResourceImpl.getEObjectByID(String)

…xmi.impl.XMLResourceImpl.getURIFragment(EObject)

From EMF library example: <author>#//@writers.0</author>

Source model example: link="#idsp_unit.gp_core.top_param"

Generating source model files from c code with annotated elements

Using Eclipse CDT Managed Builder to drive the source file iteration

Each IASTTranslationUnit calls special ASTVisitor for annotated elements

RT model memory consumption

Requirement

Production test systems have limited memory

Solution

Use Boolean flags field instead of individual Boolean fields

Our own base class that extends org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EObjectImpl

Find elements in model that are identical and then only keep one of them

Finding identical elements also takes time

Replace general element structures with new element type

Instead of *1000 elements per memory block we will only have one element

New Eclipse and Java versions

Requirement

Use the latest versions – less bugs and most features

Support Eclipse Neon which requires Java 8 runtime

Support Matlab having it’s own JVM embedded, which is only at Java 7

Solution

Make the API needed in Matlab available through an HTTP interface

Ended up reusing/extending the first Jetty HTTP Server based API

Will generate a Java 7 compliant frontend for Matlab that uses HTTP

Solution Numbers

Human Resources

20 SW developers have contributed over time

Around 60 man-years of work

More than 240 users

Artifacts

7500 files of Java source and test code

2500K lines of Java source and test code

85000 test model files

21The Solution

2007-2017

Did we get what we wanted?

We got to the Development Highway

One common and shared set of DSL’s for exchanging artifacts

Optimized cooperation between teams by using same DSL’s and tools

Learnings

By starting bottom-up the modelling did become quite low-level

Implementing Model Editors at a later stage has been challenging

22The Solution

2007-2017

Live Demo

Browse source model (Model files)

Parameter Browser (Abstraction layers)

Operation Browser (Automation workflows)

Interface Browser (Custom debug GUI)

HTTP API Server (Non Java access)
