Major Features

Persistence Outline Provides visual representation of the elements that make up an Entity Allows navigation of Persistence Properties view

Persistence Properties View Provides rich UI editing of JPA (persistence) related metadata Unified editing for JPA annotations and orm.xml (when supported) Provides dynamic default values for JPA metadata

Validation Validation in the form of “Problems” are reported based on the state of the Entities

in our model Validation is also performed on the persistence.xml model

Entity Generation from Tables Generates spec compliant Entities from tables contained in the WST.RDB

database definition model

Table Generation from Entities Generates platform specific tables from Entities through the DDL generation

capabilities of the WST.RDB component

High Level Architecture Overview

High Level Architecture Overview

Plug-ins org.eclipse.dali.core - EMF models and implementations

org.eclipse.dali.db - Dali’s interface to the wst.rdb model

org.eclipse.dali.db.ddl - Contains DDL generation code

org.eclipse.dali.doc.user - User docs and infopop for Dali

org.eclipse.dali.edit - EMF Edit layer

org.eclipse.dali.gen - Contains generator code for generating Entities from tables

org.eclipse.dali.ui - Contains the actions, composites, data models, wizards, views, and perspective that make up the Dali UI.

org.eclipse.dali.utility - A set of utility classes for the Dali plug-in

Documentation Status

User Documentation Near comprehensive user documentation currently available in Eclipse

Help or PDF format

Quick Start and near comprehensive Tutorial available

Context sensitive help is also provided for nearly all Dali controls

Available here - http://www.eclipse.org/dali/docs/dali_user_guide.pdf

Developer Documentation Initial documentation available – covers the architecture and describes

the plug-ins that make up the Dali JPA Feature.

Covers preliminary extension points, and gives brief examples

Will act as a guide for further documentation.

Available here - http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Dali_Developer_Documentation

Provisional API/Extension Status

No Public or Provisional API’s have been defined for the 0.5 release. The current plan is to develop public and provisional API’s for the 1.0 release based on further input from actual adopter extension requirements.

Several extensions points have been defined for areas that are clearly going require them. The extension points are defined in the developer documentation located here - http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Dali_Developer_Documentation

Usage of EMF is expected to provide some level of built-in model extensibility

Test Coverage

Dali has two sets of JUnit tests, one for the dali.utility plug-in and one for dali.core plug-in

The dali.utility plug-in is thoroughly tested to insure proper operation of these core classes (advanced iterators; file, string, collection utilities). There are currently 485 unit tests for this plug-in.

The dali.core plug-in tests focus on specific feature functions as well as system level tests, including model initialization, project construction/update/deletion.There are currently 67 tests for this plug-in.

All tests are currently passing The Dali project also has a dedicated QA Engineer who has started

writing automated UI tests using TPTP’s automated test framework.

Code Quality

There is still a fair amount of refactoring required to finish reworking code contributions, earlier features, and general infrastructure. Much of this refactoring is already underway, and so far has only been increasing code quality and stability.

The current code quality is probably on par with what a 0.5 release should demonstrate. By keeping our API flexible for now, we should be able to continue refactoring the code base into something that will have the high quality expected of a 1.0 Eclipse project.
