As part of the work to revamp the build to support headless PDE builds, I'm planning to rename the projects to match their plugin IDs and reorganize the SVN directory hiearchy. This isn't strictly necessary, but the new plugins that I'm creating match the more traditional Eclipse style naming/layout and it will be less confusing to have everything use a single set of conventions.
** PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED TIME TO COMMIT ANY PENDING WORK ** Because this will be a fairly disruptive change to to deal with when merging patches, please let me know immediately if you'd like additional time to get any pending work committed before I do the reorganization. Below is a quick summary of the changes, but you can read more on the wiki http://argoeclipse.tigris.org/wiki/ProjectRenaming2009 SVN directory hierarchy: trunk/argoeclipse/core -> trunk/plugins/org.argoeclipse.core Eclipse project name: argoeclipse-core -> org.argoeclipse.core Eclipse plugin ID: org.argouml.argoeclipse -> org.argoeclipse.core The headless PDE build is working (pre-reorganization) and will build a complete set of ArgoEclipse RCP applications for multiple platforms from scratch in a few minutes. Merging two complex, inflexible, and brittle build systems (ArgoUML & Eclipse PDE) was more work than I had anticipated, but it's basically complete now. The main things left to do are: 1) package the ArgoEclipse feature separately so that it can be used in both the Eclipse IDE and the ArgoEclipse RCP application and 2) generate P2 data for the update site. I did a pre-beta (ie alpha) build a couple of weeks ago which was never announced because it was built using the GUI and thus isn't easily reproducable, but if you want to play with something that's closer to the beta build, you can get it from the update site at http://argoeclipse.tigris.org/update_site_beta/ This is a new update site that we've introduced to keep the beta builds separate from the production builds. There are RCP kits for Windows and Linux (32-bit and 64-bit) available from http://argoeclipse.tigris.org/kits/rcp/ The beta will be called 0.3.1.200904xx (we've added date qualifiers to all the versions) and will be available immediately after the reorganization is complete. Timing of the final release will depend on the quantity and quality of beta feedback, but will probably be 3-4 weeks later barring unforeseen problems. There are a ton of cool new features in this release, but I'll save that for an announcement email.
