Model Builder(Eclipse-based)

• Eclipse 3

• Refreshing look and feel

• Common platform for our tools

• Plug-in architecture

• Team plug-in

Model Builder(Added Features)

• Syntax Highlighting for Activity Editors• Double-click access to parse and audit

errors• Cut/copy/paste on the diagrams• Undo/redo/revert on the diagrams• Nested Packages• Nicer behavior on existing diagrams

– drawing, grabbing, zooming

Model Builder(More Features)

• Package-based Version Control

• Search facility

• Sequence Chart

• Use Case

• Notes

Model Verifier

• Plug-in based on Eclipse Debugger

• Framework for integration with EDGE later in the year

• Additional features such as multi-domain, breakpoints, audits

MC-3020(Persistence)

• Persistent classes and links• Marking individual classes and/or

subsystems persistent• Works with any non-volatile storage

(NVS) technology• Explicit user synchronized "commit to

NVS" operation• Compact storage

MC-3020(Multi-tasking)

• Nucleus PLUS Tasks

• Class and domain allocation

MC2020/MC-3020(Integration with Eclipse)

• MC Integration with a GUI!!!

• Build button

• Minimal integration at first, then with EDGE build environment.

MC-2020/MC-3020(Harmonization)

• Alignment of the following features:– Installation– Marking– Documentation (a la Mentor standard)– Build environment– Mechanisms– Archetypes

Model Builder (Productivity Features)

• Plug-ins– Domain Chart Editor– Bridge Editor

• xtUML extensions– Actions on transitions– Inheritance– Instance reference passing– Enhanced data type support– In-sync with Executable UML Book

Model Debugger/Verifier(Harmonization)

• Same UI, different back-end• Combines features from both tools – the

best of both worlds• Integration with Nucleus EDGE

– “View” from OAL to assembly– Multi-level breakpoints

• Host and target support

Legacy Integration Tool

• Wizard-like interface• Parses header files• Provides a list of function prototypes• Group and associate with External Entities• Organize header files for Model Compiler

MC-2020/MC-3020(Productivity Features)

• Actions on transitions• Inheritance• Instance reference passing• Enhanced data type support• In-sync with Executable UML Book

MC-2020/MC-3020(Integration with Model Debugger)

• Add support for debug protocol changes

• Additional protocols

• Harmonization of MC-2020/MC-3020

Mako – Generator Replacement(Commence work)

• Fast, fast, fast

• Quick turnaround from Δ to code gen

• Same features as Gen today– Arbitrary schema– Instance populations

• Archetype compilation

• Multiple languages

2006 and beyondTools• Marking Editor• Instance Editor• Merge• Coverage/Profiling
