Phillipus commented 4 years ago

Once we're done here we can move this to the main Archi code.

Suggestions for the plug-in name please!

com.archimatetool.modelimporter
com.archimatetool.merge
com.archimatetool.importmerge
com.archimatetool.??????

com.archimatetool.import.model ?

jbsarrodie commented 4 years ago

I think what we do is best described by "a merge of two models" because of the "update" mode. But from the user point of view, as the target model needs first to be open to be able to import the other one inside, I would go for something that convey the "import model" idea.

So com.archimatetool.modelimporter seems more suited.

com.archimatetool.import.model ?

This would be ideal, but only if CSV import is also renamed so that at the end we have:

com.archimatetool.import.model
com.archimatetool.import.csv
...

Maybe not worth it.

Everything has been renamed to use *.modelimporter.* instead of *.portico.* (except this GitHub repo).

I'm afraid you'll have to close the old *.portico.* projects in Eclipse and import the new *.modelimporter.* ones and set things up in your Run/Debug configuration.

So, we can continue to test and finalise here in this separate space and when ready the following two projects will become part of main Archi code and added to the com.archimatetool.editor.feature Feature project:

com.archimatetool.modelimporter
com.archimatetool.modelimporter.commandline

The tests project com.archimatetool.modelimporter.tests will be added to the tests feature and directory.

I've now moved these projects to the main Archi code in a branch named model-importer.

We can use the model-importer branch for a little while in case there are further changes.

@jbsarrodie you'll need to:

  1. Remove the portico projects and its git repo from your Eclipse setup
  2. Fetch the model-importer branch from main Archi git repo and either check it out or merge locally into your master branch
  3. Import these projects into Eclipse: 
    com.archimatetool.modelimporter
com.archimatetool.modelimporter.commandline
com.archimatetool.modelimporter.tests

    Obviously no more code will be pushed to this repo and I'll archive it at some point. We could continue to use the issue tracker here, though, in case of any more issues arising.

Now merged into master in main Archi code.
