Migrate oAW projects to Eclipse Galileo

As we all know, oAW moved into the Eclipse Galileo release.
More information on that here.

The new projects can be found here:
Modeling Workflow (MWE)
Model to Text (M2T)
Textual Modeling Framework (TMF)

In the project I'm working on, we use EMF to generate the model objects and oAW to generate services for the generated objects, which then are published using Eclipse Riena.
After the Galileo release, I had to update my current oAW workflow using the new workflow components and dependencies.

First I downloaded the required bundles for my target platform and IDE, you can get them from the Galileo update site.

Galileo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo/

> Modeling
  • MWE SDK
  • Xpand SDK
  • Xtext SDK
My generator plug-in now has the following dependencies:

Bundles
  • org.eclipse.emf.mwe.core;bundle-version="0.7.0",
  • org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils;bundle-version="0.7.0",
  • org.eclipse.xtend;bundle-version="0.7.0",
  • org.eclipse.xpand;bundle-version="0.7.0"
Packages
  • com.ibm.icu.text;version="4.0.1",
  • org.antlr.runtime;version="3.0.0",
  • org.eclipse.jdt.core,
  • org.osgi.framework,
  • org.slf4j;version="1.5.6"
Done that I renamed my workflow file from generator.oaw to generator.mwe.
Now finally the changes I made on the file itself:

old generator.oaw

</workflow>



Basically only the namespace of the component classes changed.

Ending the whole story I have to say that I launch the workflow in my application using the org.eclipse.emf.mwe.core.WorkflowRunner.run(...) which works fine.
If I launch the workflow by itself "Run As -> MWE Workflow" I get an strange
"java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.jface.text.BadLocationException" Exception, strange because I don't get why there should be an dependency on jface.

This is very useful information. Have you considered feeding your blog into Planet Eclipse? All you need to do is open a bugzilla to request it...

Flavio, you need to add dependencies to org.eclipse.jface.text (and maybe org.eclipse.core.runtime), as the JavaBeautifier has a dependency on these bundles. These dependencies formerly haven been managed by org.openarchitectureware.dependencies bundle.

Hello Ed

Thanks for the idea, done that. I'm now Eclipse Hacker on planeteclipse.org.

Hey Peter

Yes I can see the dependencies in the JavaBeautifier. Still it's kind of strange because when I launch my generator OSGi application it all works fine and the JavaBeautifier does his job. Even though I didn't add the jface plug-in in my launch config.
Well at least it works :-).

Well, I added the dependency on Jfaca.text jar but I still get the error.

The BadLocationException is not contained in the Jar (at least not in the relase I am using, 3.5.1)

Just read this post on Karsten's Blog which explains the mentioned strange exception:
