But let's go to the point.
For Java packages I am creating FAMIX Namespaces
Now I discovered the notion of childScopes and two questions arose:
- should VerveineJ create a "childScope link" between two java
Packages (i.e. FAMIX Namespace) that are included one in the other
(e.g.: "org.eclipse.help" and "org.eclipse.help.internal" and
"org.eclipse.help.internal.browser")
Yes.
- if the answer is yes to the 1st question, then
should VerveineJ
create new FAMIX Namespaces at the "intersection" of two other
namespaces. For example, for "org.eclipse.core.internal.plugins" and
"org.eclipse.core.runtime", one could create "org.eclipse.core" as a
parent scope of both...
Yes.
Eclipse, which is my reference here, does not consider
hierarchy of
packages. Even if, on the disk, one package is implemented as a
subdirectory of another one, in the Package Explorer, they are listed
as two separate ones.
This is because actually in Java, the nesting is not part of the semantics of the
namespace. However, for analysis convenience, we would rather want to have this namespaces
as "nested". This is the behavior of inferring the namespaces based on names
(available in the utilities menu of a model).
Cheers,
Doru
Any opinion?
