Eclipse Setup

Since DCAE Controller/SOMF is build on top of EMF developement is tightly tied to using Eclipse IDE with specific plugin installed. This section describe the process to setup a developement Eclipse.

1. Install Neon.3 Java Developer Version http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-developers/neon3
2. Install software from Neon update site
   1. Eclipse Plug-in Development Environment           3.12.2.v20161124-1400
   2. EMF - Eclipse Modeling Framework Xcore SDK   1.4.0.v20160526-0606
3. Install software from Eclipse Market Place
   yEdit
   1. YEdit Feature     1.0.20.201509041456-RELEASE
4. Install Groovy from http://dist.springsource.org/snapshot/GRECLIPSE/e4.6/

   Import Eclipse Projects

   The GIT repositories include the Eclipse Project Metadata (e.g., .project, .classpath, and etc files) and thus can be importing into a workspace using the "Import Projects" → "Import existing Eclipse projects". Only the projects that need to be worked on need to be in the workspace.

   Working on DCAE Controller projects

   There are 2 projects for most features.

   1. A model project which contains the data model  using XCORE file. These projects always have a name (and artifactId) that ends in -model.This file is located on the src/main/xcore directory. And the project is setup so Eclipse will update automatically the generated Java code in the src/main/xcore-gen directory. This project is a straight EMF type project and contain very little SOMF specifics.
   2. A SOMF project which contains SOMF generated code and implementation of the APIs that the model defines.
      1. SOMF generator class Generator.java under the src/main/java folder. It contains the defined customization for creating the SOMF implementation. Running this class will generate new contents in the two generated folders.
      2. src/main/sirius-gen folder contains generated Java code for implementing Client and Server side functions.
      3. src/main/server-gen folder contains generated Bash and Groovy scripts for implementing Client and Server side functions.
      4. SOMF provider *Provider.java Java classes under the src/main/java folder. These implements the operation/methods that are defined in the model.
