Osate2 source errors #341

Closed eposse closed 10 years ago

eposse commented 10 years ago

Hello. I just installed Osate2 from sources as described in https://wiki.sei.cmu.edu/aadl/index.php/Getting_Osate_2_sources (master branch, not develop), and I have a couple of questions:

1) The Eclipse Error view shows a large number of errors for the Osate2 sources (170 in core+plugins), but the product seems to run. Most of the errors are of the form " cannot be resolved (to a type)". Are these errors normal, or should I do some configuration step, or was my git import corrupted? If it's normal to get these errors, are they "safe" errors, i.e. is there any core functionality which is affected?

2) If I want to see the UML diagrams of the meta-model (the .umldi files), which plugin should I install?

3) The instructions on https://wiki.sei.cmu.edu/aadl/index.php/Getting_Osate_2_sources may be a bit outdated: the slf4j plugin cannot be found on the Kepler update site, but I found it on http://www.fuin.org/p2-repository. Is that one the same one required by Osate2?

4) The same page says that the current version of Xtext is 2.4.2, but on the Kepler update site there is 2.4.3 and on the Xtext update site there is 2.5.0. These versions should also work, right?

Thanks.

Hello Ernesto,

Please do not use the issue tracker for discussion and questions but use our mailing-list. See https://wiki.sei.cmu.edu/aadl/index.php/Mailing_List This would then provide the opportunity to have the feedback from the community.

  1. Errors are not normal and you should not have these. Without further details, it is difficult to know the cause because it can originates from various sources (other plugins, missing installation, etc.). Please provide more information while asking on our mailing list, this is rather an installation issue.
  2. You will have to use the TOPCASED UML meta-model. I do not remember where to get the files because (unfortunately) the editor is no longer supported now.
  3. The plugin can be found on Kepler and has another name "m2e logback configuration". You can find it with the Kepler update site. My apologizes for the oudated instructions but, in case you want to contribute to the wiki, please feel free to edit and update the content with updates instructions
  4. Yes

Sorry to request that but please use the mailing list for these requests. It can then invite more people to answer and help you and make sure your issue is addressed accurately.
