DeltaJ: Delta-orientiertes Programmieren mit Java Delta-Oriented Programming with Java

Introduction

Einführung

Delta-orientiertes Programmieren (DOP) ist ein transformationaler, sehr flexibler Ansatz Softwarproduktlinien (SPL) zu entwickeln. Produktfeatures werden Produktdeltas, die den Quelltext enthalten, zugeordnet. Produkte werden durch Auswahl der Produktfeatures definiert und durch Anwendung der Deltamodule generiert. Für die Evaluation unserer Forschung entwickeln wir die die Programmiersprache DeltaJ, die DOP für Java einführt und als Eclipse Plug-in bereit steht. Das Plug-in basiert auf dem Xtext Framework und bietet eine gute Integration in Eclipse.

Delta-oriented programming (DOP) is a transfomational approach to implement Software Product Lines (SPL) which is very flexible. Product features are mapped to Delta modules which contain the source code. Products are defined by a selection of product features. A product will be generated by applying the Delta modules. For evaluation of our research we develop the programming language DeltaJ which introduces DOP to Java. DeltaJ is available as an Eclipse plug-in. It is based on the Xtext Framework therefore it provides good integration into Eclipse.

Derzeit gibt es diese Prototypen von DeltaJ:

DeltaJ 1.0 für Core DOP basiert auf Core DOP.
DeltaJ 1.1 für Pure DOP basiert auf Pure DOP.
DeltaJ 1.1 mit Refactoring erweitert die Werkzeugunterstützung für DeltaJ 1.1
DeltaJ 1.5 für Java 1.5 bietet die volle Integration der Java 1.5 Syntax für DeltaJ und entsprechende Erweiterungen und Verbesserungen der delta- orientierten Operationen.
[Coming soon] Parametric DeltaJ 1.5 bietet die Möglichkeit parametrische Featuremodelle für DeltaJ zu verwenden.

Currently we provide this DeltaJ prototypes:

DeltaJ 1.0 for Core DOP based on Core DOP.
DeltaJ 1.1 for Pure DOP based on Pure DOP.
DeltaJ 1.1 with Refactorings with improved tool support for DeltaJ 1.1
DeltaJ 1.5 with Java 1.5 provides full access of the Java 1.5 syntax and corresponding extensions and improvements of the delta-oriented operations.
[Coming soon] Parametric DeltaJ 1.5 provides the ability to use attributed feature models with DeltaJ.

Einstieg

Getting Started

Der Einstieg ist nur in Englisch verfügbar.
Installation details - Schritt für Schritt Anleitung für die Plug-in Installation. This site guides you through the plug-in installation.

Creating a new DeltaJ project - Diese Seite zeigt, wie ein neues DeltaJ-Projekt erstellt wird. This site guides you throug the process of creating your own new DeltaJ project.

Downloads

Direct Download for DeltaJ 1.1 plug-in with Refactorings: DeltaJ-transformations.zip
This archive contains the DeltaJ Plugin (/plugins/*.jar), an example project (/deltaj-examples) and a readme file. Download the archive, extract it to any folder on your system and follow the instructions of the README file.
Note: This version requires Xtext 2.2.1. It has been tested with Eclipse Indigo (3.7.1). The respective Eclipse distribution can be downloaded HERE.

Eclipse update site for DeltaJ 1.5 plug-in: https://www.isf.cs.tu-bs.de/cms/research/deltas/downloads/plug-in/
The Installation details will guide you through the installation process.
Note: This version requires Xtext 2.5.x and has been tested with Eclipse Kepler and Luna.
The SimpleTextEditor is an example product line for DeltaJ 1.5 which uses a lot of full Java 1.5 language features and can be downloaded here. Because it uses the Eclipse SWT API, it is system-dependend and there is a prepared version for each OS which contain the necessary APIs. The ZIP files contain an Eclipse project which has to be imported into the workspace.
