There is no resources except us.

Hi all,
We have been mentionning it in past emails on the list, but we are
pleased to announce officially the first release of VerveineJ : a Java
to MSE exporter.
You can get it from https://gforge.inria.fr/projects/verveinej/
Anonymous checkout is possible with the command:
svn checkout svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/verveinej/verveine.extractor.java
VerveineJ is based on the Eclipse JDT parser (JDT = Java Development
Toolkit) and binding resolver.
However, you don't need to install eclipse to run it, the necessary
libraries are included.
VerveineJ can be ran more or less as a java compiler, you specify the
source path, the class path, possibly the java version (1.2, 1.3, ...)
etc.
and it should create an "output.mse" file with all your entities and
their relationship (inheritances, accesses, references, and
invocations).
A shell script "verveine.sh" should help the new comers to execute
their first export:
$ verveinej <some-Java-sourcedir>
VerveineJ has already been used to create an MSE model of Eclipse (v.
3.1): >346000 FAMIX.Entities ; >7800 classes, >53500 methods, >147000
invocation, etc.
And of course it is free software, so you can get your hands dirty and
hack it to do what you need. It is as simple as visiting an AST (i.e.
Abstract Syntax Tree, of course!).
nicolas
PS: If I can find the time to get CDT (Eclipse C/C++ Development
Toolkit) to work in batch mode, a VerveineC is planned in the
not-too-distant-I-hope future.
Help welcome :-)

That is excellent news. It seems that it would integrate nicely with the Eclipse plugin I
wrote that exports aspect information. This way I can have all the data visualized in
AspectMaps coming from a single source.
I have two questions: How does it compare to the infusion tool in
funcionality/correctness
you can modify the code and have access to it freely. and are there
any resources available to dedicate time on this in the future to keep it up to date?
There is no resources except us.

New subject: VerveineJ v. 1.0 released
For the comparison with infusion, one point is that I could never get
infusion to work properly (or at all) for me :-(
So this limits my ability to compare them. :-)
I understand that infusion has well known limitations.
The point of verveine is that the code is there for anyone to overcome
the limitations that hurt him/her most.
So as steph said: you have access to the code.
I don't know either how old/recent is the last version of infusion?
Does it support Java 1.6, for example ?
Actually verveineJ does not :-)
Well, in the sense that it does not output anything particular for
parameterized types for example.
But it parses java 1.6 without problem and the information is
available in the AST. If someone needs it, s/he just needs to figure
out how to fit this in the meta model and write the piece of code that
will create the proper Famix Entities.
As for the resources, I plan to use it in the short to medium term. So
I will be maintaining it in the near future as well as my limited time
allows.
After, it will depend on people.
If nobody feels the need to maintain it it will be because it is not
needed. Which can be happen because Moose is no longer in use or
because java became irrelevant :-)
One strength is that it uses JDT, so the parser itself is maintained
by another entity which does have more resources than us. VerveineJ in
itself "just" visit the AST produced by the JDT parser ...
But try it and see for yourself.
Tell us what you think
I tried to document thoroughly the source code so that it would be
easier to get in ...

Hi Nicolas,
For the comparison with infusion, one point is that I
could never get
infusion to work properly (or at all) for me :-(
So this limits my ability to compare them. :-)
What part of it does not work for you? Here is a short how to:
http://www.themoosebook.org/book/externals/import-export/java
I understand that infusion has well known limitations.
It does have limitations, but it would be very interesting to compare the two.
The point of verveine is that the code is there for
anyone to overcome
the limitations that hurt him/her most.
So as steph said: you have access to the code.
So, what is the license? :)
I don't know either how old/recent is the last
version of infusion?
Does it support Java 1.6, for example ?
Actually verveineJ does not :-)
Well, in the sense that it does not output anything particular for
parameterized types for example.
But it parses java 1.6 without problem and the information is
available in the AST. If someone needs it, s/he just needs to figure
out how to fit this in the meta model and write the piece of code that
will create the proper Famix Entities.
inFusion is the same in this area.
As for the resources, I plan to use it in the short to
medium term. So
I will be maintaining it in the near future as well as my limited time
allows.
After, it will depend on people.
If nobody feels the need to maintain it it will be because it is not
needed. Which can be happen because Moose is no longer in use or

One strength is that it uses JDT, so the parser itself is maintained
by another entity which does have more resources than us. VerveineJ in

Perhaps an interesting thing would be to export a complete AST.
But try it and see for yourself.
I will :)
Tell us what you think

easier to get in ...
Cheers,
Doru

Nicolas, thanks for the clarifications! I hope to be able to find some time in Dec/Jan to
further work on AspectMaps. I will then certainly try VerveineJ!
