Monitor Operations
- msp presents a solution for problems related to the large amount of overhead when using progress bars.
- Created a new class 'KielerProgressMonitor?' in project 'de.cau.cs.kieler.core".
- Separated threads for logic and progress monitor updates.
- Example usage: http://rtsys.informatik.uni-kiel.de/trac/kieler/export/3895/trunk/plugins/de.cau.cs.kieler.kiml.ui/src/de/cau/cs/kieler/kiml/ui/layout/DiagramLayoutManager.java
- It may be useful to have only an optional progress bar, e.g. if the operations takes more than X seconds. (#530)
- Wiki page will be created (#531).
KIELER Keyboard Shortcuts
- We need a new keyboard shortcut prefix for KIELER, moved to next KIELER meeting.
Hudson
- Refactoring of KIELER project/feature names in hudson: (#532)
- Prefix: 'Feature_' for feature projects.
- Prefix: 'Product_' for products.
Content Adapter
- The content adapter is created for each new SyncChart? editPart and will do stuff like computing consistent priorties.
- But it is triggered after each change in the model, which leads to problems when adding bigger and maybe incomplete chunks, e.g when performing KSBasE in-place transformations.
- Solution: Create a mechanism for deactivating the content adapter, which will buffer the events, and reactivating it, so all the buffered events will be parsed. (#533)
KSBasE Evaluation
- mim would like to create a weak time evaluation of KSBasE.
- Problem: Comparing KSBase with auto-layout vs. DND with or without auto-layout ?
- Solution: Create multiple tests, e.g modelling ABRO + 2 textual KITS descriptions and shuffle them.
Reference States
- abl & msp shared their thoughts about reference states.
- Reference states are states that are referencing an element from an external model/diagram file, e.g. another synccharts or even sth. like dataflow, esterel, etc.
- EMF supports reference elements, but what about GMF ?
- This is a very nice feature, but needs more research by abl.
Release
- All tickets assigned to the KIELER pre-release should be closed.
- The release trunk should be cleared.
- Everybody should check his project for release.
Other Tickets
- Synccharts : Catch the event when a complex state is downgraded to a simple state and resize the state to its minimum size (#534)
