Test results for version 1.0.0_RC1:

• Jacks suite test results for release 1.0.0_RC1
• JUnit suite test results for release 1.0.0_RC1
• Diffs in test results v1.0.0_RC1 wrt. the previous version

Resolved issues and enhancements in version 1.0.0_RC1:

• Help: Started to update the user guide (feature list and content/code assist).
• UI/Code Assist: Consistently generate/maintain base imports for base classes. Applies to Binding Editor and Organize Imports action.
  • Never import a role type (see below "OTJLD/Compiler")
  • Always import base classes with "import base .."
  • Keep "import base .." declarations, even if base class seems to be invisible (e.g., private inner class).
  org.objectteams.otdt.ui.tests.core.OrganizeImportsTest
• Quick Fix: Previously a quick fix was offered to import an unresolved role type, resulting in illegal code (see below "OTJLD/Compiler"). Changed this to replace the import quick fix with a new quick fix for adding a team anchor to the role type (offering any matching team anchors which are in scope).
• Quick Fix: Avoid a NullPointerException which occurred when the quick fix processor called into the compiler, which was at that time not properly configured.
• Quick-Fix: Fixed standard Java Quick-Fixes for roles; was throwing, e.g., IllegalArgumentException("RoleTypeDeclaration has no property modifiers").
• Completion: New support to generate callout-to-field after typing "get" or "set". Also support completing the field specifier (right hand side of callout) after the modifier "get" or "set".
• JavaModel: Fixed a long outstanding problem surfacing as "Save Failed: null" when trying to save a buffer with heavy syntax errors.
• Java Model/UI: Avoid ClassCastException observed in JavaElement.getSourceElementAt().
• DOM-AST/Selection: Fixed IllegalArgumentException thrown by ASTNode.setSourceRange() when working with a method mapping with syntax errors.
  org.objectteams.otdt.ui.tests.dom.converter.CalloutMappingDeclarationTest.testSourceRangeOfBuggyCallout().
  Similar corrections for some generated code elements.
• OT/Equinox: Renamed the OT/Equinox plug-in to org.objectteams.otequinox
• Debugger: Fixed a NullPointerException in the handling of OT/J launches.
• OTJLD/Compiler: Explicitly forbid importing a role type (which was useless anyway).
  OTJLD § 1.2.2(i), 1.3.19-otjld-illegal-role-import
• Compiler: Perform team instance comparison for instanceof expression with role type even if no explicit type anchor is specified, compare to the current team.
  (However, avoid team instance comparison if identity is statically known.)
  1.3.3-otjld-role-not-subtype-of-superrole-1e
• Compiler: Support overriding a native method with a callout binding.
• Compiler: Improved handling of static role fields: fixed externalized access to a static role field. Signal an existing compiler limitation: cannot handle non-final static role fields (note that inner classes in Java can have NO static members at all).
• Compiler: Improve support for non-static inner class as a base-class: implicitly use existing base link as the required outer instance for a base constructor.
  2.4.1-otjld-visible-base-class-19
• Compiler: Avoid InternalCompilerException("Required cast method not found.") thrown when working with a team (class file) with syntax errors.
  B.1.1-otjld-sh-49
• Compiler: Avoid InternalCompilerException("trying to search baseclass too early."): smarter lookup. Remaining problems are only reported as compile errors, not an exception.
• Compiler: Gracefully report if org.objectteams.Team cannot be resolved.
• Compiler: Avoid conflict regarding a user-defined class Class. Generated code was using unqualified name Class to refer to java.lang.Class which in that case became ambiguous.

• Starting with this release all ObjectTeams/Java projects are set to Java compliance 1.5.
• Welcome Pages: fixed URL to the Object Teams introduction and updated icon in the overview page.
• Samples: Fixed a regression in the samples adaptor, which caused the erroneous message "samples not installed".
• Samples: Updated the following samples: OTSample-Observer, OTSample-Flightbonus, OTSample-Ordersystem (project configuration for compliance 1.5, avoid name clash of Observer with java.util.Observer, use Java5 features, link to local copy of OTJLD).
• OT/Equinox: Change console logging of OT/Equinox into standard Eclipse logging, which can be configured using property otequinox.debug (possible values: OK, INFO, WARNING, ERROR).
• OT/Equinox: Improve debugging support for OT/Equinox to include the Team Monitor view.
• OT/Equinox: Fixed concurrency problem in OT/Equinox which surfaced as timeout in EclipseLazyStarter.preFindLocalClass.

  However, creating callout-to-field using the binding editor is not yet supported.
• Editor: Display Javadoc in hover of method bindings.
• Editor: Support hover for multiple matches containing method bindings (was throwing ClassCastException previously).
• Quick-Fix: Support @SuppressWarnings quick fixes for role classes, too (was reporting error "SuppressWarning quick fix: wrong node kind: 94").
• Metrics: Removed dependency of org.objectteams.otdt.metrics.export on BIRT.
• UI (several views): Consistently suppress generated methods/fields (starting with _OT$) and classes (starting with __OT__) in several views.
• Incremental Builder: Detect that incremental compilation needs to recompile a role file after the corresponding team file has been removed.
  org.objectteams.otdt.test.builder.IncrementalTests (testRemoveTeamType).
• Incremental Builder: Detect and report as a configurable problem if incremental compilation generates incomplete code. If this problem is reported some callin bindings may not work until a full build is performed.
• Compiler: Better handling of source file with local types and syntax errors. B.1.1-otjld-sh-47.
• Compiler: Support a nested role to be played by a role of the outer enclosing team.
  2.1.11-otjld-playedBy-within-team-1
• Compiler: Support implicit redifinition of playedBy.
  OTJLD § 2.1(d), 2.1.12-otjld-implicitly-refined-playedBy-1
• Compiler: New warning for a situation where explicit role creation could cause subsequent smart lifting to fail.
  OTJLD § 2.4.3, 2.2.33-otjld-explicit-creation-breaks-lifting-1
• Compiler: Detect and report conflict of multiple callouts with same name and parameters.
  3.1.16-otjld-duplicate-callout-1
• Compiler: Fixed a situation were a synthetic accessor for an outer enclosing team generated illegal byte code.

• Compiler: Improved resilience for terribly broken code, here: team missing its super-team and stacked team on top of the broken team.
  B.1.1-otjld-sh-48
• Java Model: Support anchored types using new syntax (R<@t>), fixes error marks that occurred in the editor only.

 

Based on Eclipse 3.2.2

Test results for version 0.9.27:

• Jacks suite test results for release 0.9.27
• JUnit suite test results for release 0.9.27
• Diffs in test results v0.9.27 wrt. the previous version

Resolved issues and enhancements in version 0.9.27:

• Fully adopt the Eclipse maintenance release 3.2.2 (Callisto).
  When updating you have the following options:
  1. The easiest way to benefit from all enhancements is to fetch a full new binary release of the OTDT, including Eclipse SDK 3.2.2 and the OTDT 0.9.27.
  2. If you are low on bandwidth you may also update the OTDT only via the Object Teams update site.
  3. It is furthermore possible (for whatever reasons) to first fetch a full new Eclipse 3.2.2 and before launching the workbench unpack the OTDT feature in your eclipse directory.
  4. Updating the OTDT to Eclipse version 3.2.2 using an official Eclipse update site is not recomended: we have observed the update to leave the OTDT in an unusable state. Whether this is a problem of the Eclipse update or of the OTDT remains to be analyzed.
  The new splash screen and window manager icon are only included when using option 1 or 3 above.
  Please report any problems with upgrading to the otj-users mailing list.
• Prototypical new design of logo/icon by Marco Mosoni.
• New option in OT/J launch configurations:
  Link with SWT to link the SWT native libraries to an OT/J application.
• Better integration of OT/J specific elements in the Java Model.
  The new strategy fixes the following issues wrt OT/J specific elements:
  • updating of method bindings in the outline
  • "Link With Editor" behavior
  It also obsoletes some changes we made to outline and package explorer.
  TPX-121, TPX-181
• Adapt decoration with error/warning ticks to apply to OT/J specific nodes, too. Applies for the package explorer and the outline.
  TPX-374
• More complete support for searching method bindings (search and call-hierarchy).
  TPX-291
• Better validation in new role wizard.
  TPX-187
• Fixed Java Model resolving accross "phantom roles".
  TPX-435

 

Test results for version 0.9.26:

• Jacks suite test results for release 0.9.26
• JUnit suite test results for release 0.9.26
• Diffs in test results v0.9.26 wrt. the previous version

Resolved issues and enhancements in version 0.9.26:

• Migrate implementation of the OT package explorer from copy&paste code in org.objectteams.otdt.ui to the org.objectteams.jdt.ui.adaptor. This improves the consistency at the UI.
  Note that this change causes an error dialog after updating, saying "Could not find view: org.objectteams.otdt.ui.PackageExplorer". Please open a regular Java Package Explorer instead, which now has all the OT/J functionality, too.
• Migrated org.eclipse.jdt.core and JUnit test suite to Eclipse maintenance release 3.2.2.
• Byte-code incompatiblities:
  • Restructured the run-time library wrt. the internal type IBoundBase.
  • Add more information to byte-code attributes to avoid some of the restrictions reported in TPX-434 (OT/Equinox cannot use class de.fub.bytecode.Repository).
    Also fixes new cases 4.5.12-otjld-basecall-requires-lowering-1, 4.3.11-otjld-translating-mapped-parameter-1 ff.
  Teams must be re-compiled.
• Encouraging migration to new syntax for externalized roles:
  • New warning when still using path syntax (p.q.R).
  • Quick-fix to convert path syntax to a value type parameter (R<@p.q>).
  Old: OTJLD § 1.2.2(b), new: OTJLD § 9.2.1
• Improved grammar: support special type anchor <@base> within roles bound to a team.
  OTJLD § 2.6(a), 1.9.6-otjld-base-anchored-type-1
• Support role creation in new syntax: new R<@aTeam>()
  7.4.2-otjld-callout-access-to-hidden-method-3f
• Support refinement of playedBy in nested teams when also using the type anchor <@base>.
  1.1.26-otjld-nesting-and-layering-2
• Support callout to private method if the base class is a role, too.
  7.4.2-otjld-callout-access-to-hidden-method-3
• Support lowering also in these locations:
  • sub-expression of an argument of a constructor's self call.
    1.6.21-otjld-constructor-receives-externalized-role-1
  • argument of a base-call
    4.5.12-otjld-basecall-requires-lowering-1

  This version introduces some additions/changes regarding the generated byte code that require re-compilation of existing code. The run-time environment will refuse to work with byte-code that was generated by compiler versions < 0.9.25.
• Fixed searching for private role methods. Should also solve related problems in refactorings.
• OTDT API: Explicit support for guard predicates in the DOM AST.
  org.objectteams.otdt.ui.tests.dom.converter.GuardPredicateTest,
  org.objectteams.otdt.ui.tests.dom.rewrite.ASTRewritingModifyingTeamTest,
  org.objectteams.otdt.ui.tests.dom.rewrite.ASTRewritingModifyingRoleTest

  See, e.g., A.1.5-otjld-role-class-literal-1 f.
• Reduced size of the batch compiler ecotj.jar
  TPX-433
• Fixed the team-monitor view for teams activated via launch configuration.
• Fixed "mark occurrences" for role type declarations.
• Improved separation of regular import scope and base import scope.
  A role and its base class may even have the same name without producing any name clashes.

• Fixed a combination of lowering and widening.
  2.2.1-otjld-lowering-to-baseclass-11
• Code completion after the playedBy keyword: if an import is needed generate as "import base ...".
  
• Allow lifting for a base object before it is fully initialized.
  TPX-487, 2.2.31-otjld-lifting-uninitialized-object-1 f.
• Improved syntax hightlighting support for OT/J:

• More sophisticated treatment of combined nesting and implicit inheritance.
  B.1.1-otjld-sh-44
• New quick-fixes (Ctrl-1) to resolve these problems:
  • import modifier:
    • It is recommended that base class {0} be imported with the modifier 'base'.
  • role modifiers:
    • Member types not allowed in regular roles. Mark class {0} as a team if {1} should be its role (OTJLD 1.5(a,b)).
    • Illegal access modifier for role {0}. Only public and protected are allowed here (OTJLD 1.2.1(a))
    • Cannot reduce the visibility of role {0} to {1}, implicit super-role is ''{2}'' (OTJLD 1.3.1(h))
    • Team {0} may need to be declared abstract, because irrelevance for abstract role {1} could not be shown (OTJLD 2.5(b)).
    • Team {0} must be declared abstract, because abstract role {1} is relevant (OTJLD 2.5(b)).
  • modifiers relating to callins:
    • Cannot bind method {0} using "replace": need a callin method (OTJLD 4.2(d)).
    • Modifier "callin" not allowed here; overriding a method from {0} which is not a callin method (OTJLD 4.2(d)).
    • Missing modifier "callin"; overriding a method from {0} which is a callin method (OTJLD 4.2(d)).
    • Cannot bind static base method {1} to non-static role method {0} (OTJLD 4.7(b)).
    • Cannot bind non-static base method {1} to static callin method {0} via replace (OTJLD 4.7(d)).
    • Callin modifier (before, after or replace) missing for callin-binding {0} (OTJLD A.3.3).
  • precedence declarations:
    • callin bindings {0}.{1} and {2}.{3} refer to the same base method; must declare precedence of these bindings (OTJLD 4.8).
• New configurable warning if a regular import is used to import a role's base-class:
  "It is recommended that base class {0} be imported with the modifier 'base'".
  (warning token is bindingconventions, more of this kind to follow).
  OTJLD § 2.1.2(d), 2.1.10-otjld-base-import-5 f.
• Clarification: a role must not override a final tsuper-role.
  OTJLD § 1.3.1(c), 0.c.10-otjld-override-final-role-1

• Fixed a special situation of smart lifting in conjunction with team inheritance.
  6.4.1-otjld-smart-lifting-19 et al
• Removed a compiler limitation: static role methods (including callin methods) can now access enclosing instances at any level.
  7.1.16-otjld-static-role-method-6
• Clarification: accessing a member of an externalized role requires the member to be public.
  OTJLD § 1.2.1(e), 0.a.8-otjld-role-field-access-other-role-8 ff.
• Fixed a special situation of accessing a role field from team code involving also team inheritance.
