• CallHierarchy: Support call hierarchy of all write accesses to a given field, i.e., exploring all control flows that result in writing to the given field. A similar patch has also been submitted to Eclipse bug #75800.

 

Adopted Eclipse maintance release 3.3.1 plus own improvements.

 Test results for version 1.1.3:

• Jacks suite test results for release 1.1.3
• JUnit suite test results for release 1.1.3
• Diffs in test results v1.1.3 wrt. the previous version

Resolved issues and enhancements in version 1.1.3:

• OT/Equinox: New launch configuration type "OT/Equinox Appliction", for running OT/Equinox bundles without an Eclipse runtime workbench.
• OT/Equinox: Support teams adapting classes from their own enclosing plug-in (bundle). This is achieved by declaring an aspect binding in the plugin.xml with the pseudo base plug-in "SELF". Activation is declared as usual using either NONE, THREAD or ALL_THREADS.
• OT/Equinox & OTRE: Reduce eager loading of classes but only scan the byte code attributes instead. Fixes a racing condition in Eclipse (bug 204829) by which the dialog for choosing a workspace was not shown.
• OT/Equinox: Further protection against potential dead lock in the BridgeClassloader by explicit locking.
• OT/Equinox: Correctly detect and transform nested teams.
• OTJLD/Compiler: Support callin bindings to base methods with covariant return types by appending "+" to the type name. For replace callins this requires the role side to use a generic signature in order to avoid class cast exceptions.
  OTJLD § 4.9.3(c), 4.1.39-otjld-callin-binding-with-plus-1 up-to -8
• Compiler: Allow a callout binding to refine the return type of an inherited role method (covariance and refining a raw type to a parameterized type).
  A.1.8-otjld-callout-redefines-inherited-1, A.1.8-otjld-callout-redefines-inherited-2
• Compiler: Interim fix for Eclipse bug 204749 (NPE when JavadocQualifiedTypeReference cannot be resolved).
• Compiler: For references within javadoc don't apply strict type checking requiring dependent types.
• Compiler: Further improved the control of the compilation order. NPEs were reported caused by the CallinMarkerCreator2 and CompilationUnitProblemFinder when working with certain role files of the Disposition and OTPong case studies.
• Compiler: Correct typing of return type of tsuper call in callin method (here: basic types).
  X.1.1-otjld-binding-inheritance-8a
• Compiler: More complete support for role types as a type parameter, especially if implicit inheritance applies to the role type.
  A.1.2-otjld-generic-role-feature-6, ff.
• Quickfix: Add type parameter to a callin and its role method according to new rule OTJLD § 4.9.3(c).
• Completion: Support completing after playedBy to produce the common pattern where role and base class share the same name. Previously, completion incorrectly treated this as a name clash, but actually the name clash is avoided by using a base-import for the base class.
  org.objectteams.otdt.tests.model.OTCompletionTests .testCompletionBaseclassDecapsulation2
• Wizards: Role creation now supports to implement abstract methods inherited from implicit super role, too.
  TPX-464
• Outline: Support drag-and-drop re-ordering of method bindings.
  TPX-375
• Help: Enable context menu option "Go To Language Definition" only on errors explicitly referring to the OTJLD.
• Tests: Upgrade OT-specific JUnit tests to use Java compliance 1.5. This surfaced a number of omission in the implementation like analysis of @Override annotations in the presence of implicit inheritance.

 

 Test results for version 1.1.2:

• Jacks suite test results for release 1.1.2
• JUnit suite test results for release 1.1.2
• Diffs in test results v1.1.2 wrt. the previous version

Resolved issues and enhancements in version 1.1.2:

• OTJLD/Compiler: Support inferred callouts:
  An implicit inference tries to resolve unimplemented inherited methods and unresolvable self-calls by creating corresponding callout bindings (no adjustments besides lifting/lowering are considered).
  Inferred callouts create a configurable diagnostic with token "inferredcallout".
  OTJLD § 3.1(j), 3.1.17-otjld-inferred-callout-1 ff.
• OTJLD/Compiler: Grammar enhancement: do allow method bindings in a role interface.
  Such bindings affect all role classes implementing the interface.
  0.b.5-otjld-role-interface-with-role-members-2i, 0.b.5-otjld-role-interface-with-role-members-3
• OTJLD/Compiler: Exception to rule OTJLD § 4.4(b): parameter mappings of a callin replace binding may now use cast expressions (which are perfectly reversible).
  4.3.2-otjld-expression-in-replace-parameter-mapping-10.
• Batch compiler: Option -help:warn also lists the OT/J-specific warnings that can be configured.
• Quickfix: New quickfix to materialize inferred callouts (cf. OTJLD § 3.1(j)).
• Quickfix&Completion: When creating a callout via quickfix or completion insert proper imports and use short names for types in signatures.
• Completion: Consider static base methods for generating callout.
  org.objectteams.otdt.tests.model.OTCompletionTests.testCompletionCalloutDeclaration4()
• Quickfix: Support quickfixes for imports with warnings. Anticipates upcoming patch for Eclipse Bug #201203
• Quickfix: It is now possible to create a missing method in the enclosing team of a role file (i.e., into a different compilation unit).
  TPX-470
• Rewrite: More complete re-writing of OT/J-constructs, here: within(), tsuper(), base() statements. This allows to refactor sub-expressions of these constructs.
  org.objectteams.otdt.ui.tests.refactoring.extractmethod.ExtractTempTests
• Binding Editor: Enable opening the binding editor also from the outline.
• Outline: Don't show guard predicates (by their generated method name), don't show method bindings twice in the quick outline.
• Debugging: Resurrected the Team Monitor (which was lost during the migration to Eclispe 3.3), and improve its functionality:
  • Support columns in the tree view (like in the variables view)
  • Observe the death of team instances, too.
  • Context menu actions to (de)activated a selected team instance (for the selected thread).
• Debugging: Repair double-click toggle-breakpoint action (was broken during 3.3-migration). Also support all kinds of breakpoints for role files including class-loading and method breakpoints.
• Runtime Environment: Fixed implicit (de-)activation in methods containing a try-catch block.
  5.3.1c-otjld-callin-invocation-in-team-method
• OT/Equinox: Fixed two potential deadlocks during startup.
• Compiler&OT/Equinox: Detect and report if in a plug-in project using OT/Equinox a base import lacks or violates a corresponding aspectBinding declaration at the plug-in level.
  Also in new OT/Equinox projects, importing a base class with a regular import (not import base) is by default an error now.
• OT/Equinox: Display icons for the elements of an aspectBinding in the extension editor.
• OT/Equinox: Basic profiling of class transformation during system start-up. Need to pass as vm arguments: -Dotequinox.debug=info and -Dotequinox.profile.
• Deployment: Fixed packaging of the batch compiler ecotj.
• Deployment: Plug-in org.objectteams.otdt.ui.help now includes a jar, which is needed when compiling against the deployed plug-in.
• Compiler: More complete handling of base-anchored types in method bindings.
  1.9.6-otjld-base-anchored-type-5
• Compiler: Make diagnostic regarding base imports configurable using token bindingconventions
• Compiler: Support predicates also for bindings to static methods.
  9.1.4-otjld-binding-predicate-2s, 9.1.4-otjld-binding-predicate-2r
• Compiler: Completed those locations which may use the base import scope and baseclass decapsulation: base guards and remaining cases in parameter mappings.
  2.4.7-otjld-base-import-scope-1 f.
• Compiler: Avoid spurious message "Declared lifting is not supported in this position" after a syntax error has already been detected.
• Compiler: Avoid warning "static method m should be accessed in a static way", which was caused by synthetic accessor to a private static role feature.
  B.1.1-otjld-ch-5a (used to show a spurious warning).
• Compiler: Don't show synthetic arguments when reporting error against a base-call.
  4.5.5-otjld-illegal-base-call-6

 

 Test results for version 1.1.1:

• Jacks suite test results for release 1.1.1
• JUnit suite test results for release 1.1.1
• Diffs in test results v1.1.1 wrt. the previous version

Resolved issues and enhancements in version 1.1.1:

• Refactoring: Re-integrate the support for OT-aware refactorings as it was present in the OTDT 1.0.0. However, now this support is implemented by an aspect-plugin of <15% the size of the previous copy&paste based implementation.
  Also OT-awareness is now added to the original refactorings rather than adding additional refactorings/actions. While this improves the intergration of OT/J into the JDT it currently breaks 3 out of >3449 refactoring tests, because a small portion of our implementation is still based on code from Eclipse 3.0.
• Compare: Fixed formatting of comments in the compare editor for java sources.
• Quick Fix: Insertion of "final" modifier for a variable that is used as the team anchor of an externalized role.
• Completion: Completion of keyword "playedBy" in roles and only in roles.
  org.objectteams.otdt.tests.model.OTCompletionTests
• Completion: Completion after "playedBy" now offers invisible classes, too (for baseclass decapsulation).
  org.objectteams.otdt.tests.model.OTCompletionTests
• Metrics: Compute metrics even for code with (some) errors.
• Compiler: Fixed reporting of illegal modifier in callin binding, which caused an assertion violation in
  4.1.6-otjld-callin-binding-states-modifier-1 ff.
• Compiler: Handle confined roles on both side of a playedBy declaration:
  • disallow confined roles as base: 1.7.9-otjld-decapsulating-confined-2,
  • but do support confined roles to be bound to a base class: 1.7.10-otjld-confined-bound-role-1
• GUI: Generally cope with "base" as a package name.
