Wide classes for VW
by Adrian Kuhn 03 Sep '07

03 Sep '07

As ESUG was so inspiring, I could not resist some VW hacking on the train home... If you browse to WideClass and WideClassTest on SCG Store, there is a simple implementation of wide classes. As we have tons of empty inst vars in moose models, that might help us to save some megas on large case studies. How to use it? Sending #wide:put: to any object will install an instance var and accessors on the receiver instance. o := Object new. o wide: #foo put: 4. o foo and even better, if you implement #foo and #foo: as follows foo ^nil foo: arg self wide: #foo put: arg upon first execution of #foo: the foo inst var is installed and both methods get properly overriden with simple accessors. There is no DNU hack anywhere! Hope you have some fun playing around with it! cheers, AA

problem importing mse files
by Richard Wettel 01 Sep '07

01 Sep '07

Hi, Today I tried to import from mse files and I get the following exception during the import: "Message not understood: #accessedByLists" Then, I tried to import a model from Smalltalk and to export it in mse. Loading this fresh file generated the same exception. Could you please fix this? (I peeked a bit in the Moose code and it seems that FAMIXAbstractStructuralEntity has an accessedByList attribute and two pairs of accessors: #accessedByList and #accessedByLists and the setters, too. Maybe it has something to do with this). Thanks and cheers! Ricky PS. And another issue is that when I tried to load the latest MooseDevelopment bundle, I got some packages that could not be loaded...

less progress bars
by Tudor Girba 29 Aug '07

29 Aug '07

Hi, I chatted with Travis Griggs and he showed me a package called LessProgress. This packages replaces the ugly progress bars that always get on top of any window with a small progress bar in the Launcher (see attached picture). To use it, you have to: - load LessProgress (either from Cincom or from Bern Store) - go to the Window menu in the Launcher - New Launcher - done I put this in my base image.

Founing of Moose Verein at ESUG in Lugano
by Adrian Kuhn 22 Aug '07

22 Aug '07

Dear Moosers, as you might remember, the founding of Moose Verein was postponed at Famoosr due to missing bylaws. The purpose of the association is to support Moose and Famix, eg by organizing a Summer of Code. We plan to found the Moose Verein at ESUG in Lugano, see doodle http://www.doodle.ch/q88eyauxxriwe5ue I have setup a wiki page with draft bylaws, taken from the nice booklet "Wie gründe und leite ich einen Verein?" by Urs Scherrer. See link below http://smallwiki.unibe.ch/moose/association/ The bylaws are in German. It would be nice if someone could translate them to English. The English bylaws will not be legally binding, they are only meant as support for foreign-speaking members. The google translation looks 90% correct, hence the translation job would mainly be to fix mistakes like "photograph request" for "Aufnahmegesuch". http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F% 2Fsmallwiki.unibe.ch%2Fmoose%2Fassociation%2F&langpair=de%7Cen&hl=en @Orla, you said that you might volunteer for translation, is that still okay with you? Please stay tuned for more news, and forward this mail to anyone in your network that might have an interest in the Moose association. cheers, AA -- Adrian Kuhn MSc Software Composition Group http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~akuhn http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~akuhn/news.xml

ecore import export
by Tudor Girba 21 Aug '07

21 Aug '07

Hi Sara, I saw you added the Ecore code into Meta. I did not have the time to take a closer look, but I did noticed you have a lot of tests for your code, and they are all green. That is nice :). As you probably saw in the previous mail, adding EcoreImportExport to Meta generated some loading problems when loading 'Moose Config', because you have two classes that are in SCG.Moose namespace. However, Meta does not depend on Moose, but Moose depends on Meta. So, no class in the Meta bundle should be in the Moose namespace. I see several solutions to fix the problem: - move the classes to the Meta namespace for now, although they do not belong there - move the classes to the MooseDevelopment bundle - move the classes in a separate bundle that has MooseDevelopment bundle as prerequisite Also, please add comments to the versions you are adding, because it helps us track what is happening. In any case, I am looking forward to taking a closer look at the code :).

Re: metamodel from Smalltalk Code
by Adrian Kuhn 15 Aug '07

15 Aug '07

Hey Sara, the issue is fixed, now you can say SCG.Moose asMetaDescription classes and get all meta-descriptions of all classes without the annoying initialize loop. PS: next week I am in Berlin, I might not have time to fix bugs, but I am usually available via mail. cheers, AA On 27 Jul 2007, at 15:32 , sellossa(a)ensieta.fr wrote: > hello, > > why, when I do: SCG.Moose asMetaDescription, I get sthing different > from when I do: SCG.Moose allClasses do: #asMetaDescription. > ^SCG.Moose asMetaDescription > > Stef find it terrible! > > sara
