[ http://jira.andromda.org/browse/AAAA-23?page=comments#action_12856 ]
Peter Friese commented on AAAA-23: ---------------------------------- In the latest snapshot of Android, I implemented a dynamic discovery mechanism for AndroMDA artifacts and other libraries. It works like this: 1) The user configures his Maven repo / AndroMDA install location 2) Android uses the DirectoryScanner from ANT to recursively scan for the libraries it needs. The trick is to use the ANT DirectoryScanner, since it supports pattern searching like in "**/andromda-j2ee-maven-cartridge-3.2-SNAPSHOT.jar" 3) Set up an URLClassloader with all discovered artifacts. 4) Use reflection (or MethodUtils) to invoke org.andromda.andromdapp.AndroMDApp.addConfiguration() and org.andromda.andromdapp.AndroMDApp.run(). 5) Off you go :-) I envisage using the same approach to embed the new common runner. > Eclipse runner > -------------- > > Key: AAAA-23 > URL: http://jira.andromda.org/browse/AAAA-23 > Project: AndroMDA 4 > Type: New Feature > Components: Eclipse integration > Reporter: Matthias Bohlen > Assignee: Peter Friese > Fix For: 4.0-M2 > > This web page > http://www.andromda.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogsection&id=10&Itemid=78&limit=1&limitstart=9 > shows a sequence diagram that describes how to start AndroMDA 4. The test > case in technology/workflow-test also shows how to start a sample workflow. > An Eclipse plugin should be developed that gets a URL property for the > workflow definition file and runs AndroMDAEngine as shown on the sequence > diagram. > Steps: > 0. Think about where to get that workflow description URL from. > 1. Create the Eclipse plugin in the folder integration/runners/eclipse and > put the classes into the package org.andromda.integration.eclipse. > 2. Make the Eclipse plugin call the AndroMDAEngine class which is written by > Martin in AAAA-22. > Pair with Martin because his Maven runner is very similar in nature. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.andromda.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
