Gui Xunlong updated SCXML-116:
------------------------------
Labels: GSoC Mentor Eclipse plunge-in GMF Commons SCXML Visual
editor/debuger code generation (was: Eclipse plunge-in GMF Commons SCXML
Visual editor/debuger code generation)
Description:
I have been using Apache Commons SCXML Engine for more than two years,Now i
have an idea to improve it, and I wanted to post it and see if there would be
any interest in it in the Apache SCXML community. If possible, i want to hold
it as a GSoC(url:http://socghop.appspot.com/) open source project.
The basic idea of the project is to create a Eclipse based visual editor and
debugger for SCXML which can also generate SCXML statechart to Java code.
State Chart XML (SCXML) is currently a Working Draft published by the World
Wide Web Consortium (W3C). SCXML provides a generic state-machine based
execution environment based on Harel State Tables. SCXML is a candidate for the
control language within multiple markup languages coming out of the W3C.It is
very useful to handler complex status transfer logic,but if a SCXML file is
really so huge and complex,it will become too difficult to maintain and
refactor or to test its logic validity.
This project is to develop a Eclipse plunge-in visual editor which is capable
of showing a graphical representation of the process model and allows for
adding breakpoints to activities, variable modifications and managing the
debugging process for SCXML.I have already done some work on both SCXML and
Eclipse GMF,even i tried to implement a SCXML editor using GMF and got a little
achievement,so i want to develop this editor with GMF and have enough
confidence to finish it.
Usually,State Chart XML file will be running on a SCXML engine(for example, our
Apache Commons SCXML),if some one only want to achieve the SCXML file's
business logic,but do not want to or can not use some SCXML engine due to
licence problem etc,this tool can export SCXML file's logic to executeable Java
code which has the same state logic translation with the SCXML file.
This is my mainly idea and Rahul Akolkar told me this is a good idea,but he has
another GSoC project to mentor already, so he can not mentor me, and he
suggested me come here to find some proper mentor.
So,if anyone has any questions or comments, or would be interested in mentoring
this project, please let me know,you can send me an Email, my mail address is
[email protected].
