Hi, We are currently developing a Component Editor using Topcased v1.2 Modeling Framework. We've been very pleased with the results we accomplished so far with this technology.
However, we are a bit doubtful about the future of the Topcased-MF. Particularly, we expected the stable release of Topcased v2.0 to migrate its technology to GMF. I've seen the Topcased roadmap 2.0.12 and as far as I understand, at least part of the migration has been cancelled. I would really appreciate if you could comment on this. I also tried to convert the diagramconfigurator to GMF using Topcased's built in facility. The tool managed to create usable GMF-compliant files, however the generated code has compilation errors. Concretely, the generated code has missing dependencies on org.topcased.draw2d.figures . Once I imported the package, it compiled well and I was able to successfully launch an Eclipse session. Nevertheless, the "converted" editor is almost empty. The palette has all items, but few of them are functional (can create objects in the diagram). Moreover, the few of them that work create objects that have dummy figures, and have empty attributes. Further, the objects cannot be nested as expected. I don't know if I'm missing some required steps. I did not customize at all the generated GMF diagram configuration. Do you have some documentation on what the tool is able to convert, what is missing, etc? Finally, do you have (or plan to have) documentation on the migration from Topcased 1.x to 2.x? Or to GMF?
