ProR development continues (Eclipse OpenSource RE tool based on RMF/ReqIF) - feedback wanted!

micky@alum.mit.edu (Michael Jastram) — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 23:05:23 -0400

I am project lead on the Eclipse Requirements Modeling Framework (RMF),
which also contains a tool called ProR for requirements engineering (http://eclipse.org/rmf).
In two weeks, we'll start a sprint to improve the GUI. We welcome
feedback, so that we can prioritize properly before starting the sprint.
More details can be found here:

We appreciate any feedback!

Snapshot Build of Eclipse ProR (ReqIF Open Source Implementation) •

micky@alum.mit.edu (Michael Jastram) — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 23:49:28 -0500

The Eclipse RMF project has the goal to provide a clean-room
implementation of a ReqIF tool. ReqIF is an emerging standard for
exchanging requirements, driven by the German automotive industry.

You can find more details and the download link at the Formal Mind Blog.

RMF and ProR moving forward nicely

We submitted the Requirements Modeling Framework (RMF) to become an Eclipse Foundation Project just a few weeks ago. We are excited that the project got approved and is now waiting for provisioning.

Running Rodin 1.1 with Ubuntu 9.10

micky@alum.mit.edu (Michael Jastram) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:30:52 -0500

I had a few issues getting Rodin 1.1 to work properly after Updating Ubuntu to 9.10. The main issue is the HTML-Viewer that Eclipse uses. It wraps Firefox/xulrunner in an SWT-Control. Unfortunately, Firefox 3.5 (xulrunner 1.9.1) is incompatible with Eclipse 3.4, on which Rodin is based.

To work around this problem, you need to install xulrunner 1.9.0. I installed it locally at ~/opt/xulrunner-1.9.0.15

Next, you need to edit your rodin.ini (in the Rodin installation directory) and add the following line:

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=~/opt/xulrunner-1.9.0.15

That's it! This also works for running Eclipse 3.4 (in that case, you have to edit eclipse.ini).

Good luck!

Building a GWT app that is an Eclipse Plug-In

micky@alum.mit.edu (Michael Jastram) — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:28:03 -0400

For my own reference:

Create a new GWT-Project
Give it a standard Plug-In name (e.g. de.jastram.gwtexample)
Give the Project the Plug-In Nature (Right-click on Project > Configure > Convert to Plug-in Projects...)
Add Dependency to de.jastram.jettyrunner
Add Extension de.jastram.jettyrunner.warrunner
Add a war-element
That's it - don't forget to compile.

Eclipse Plugin-Testing with Fragments

micky@alum.mit.edu (Michael Jastram) — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 16:59:20 -0400

For those who are test-obsessed like me, here is a neat trick for seperating test code and production code in Eclipse-Plugins by using Fragments.
