The focus for this week was to continue developing the odesign file. With the existing 3 Diagrams: Package, Declaration and Implementation Diagram, the last one is the one I have worked most on this week. I added creation tools for the System, Thread and Process implementation. This was a major progress in understanding the aadl2 model, as it required more than one property to be set during the element creation. More it is also a "cool" tool containing a selection wizard to display all the available systems/threads/processes for which an implementation can be created. This feature was personally an interesting achievement as the java service, required to return the correct elements to populate the wizard, worked almost out-of-the box (of course, there followed some re-factoring to accommodate the method for all the types, but it did the job good straight on).
I have added creation tools for all the components that can be created inside the System/Thread/Process implementation. It was not very difficult to develop this tools once an example was ready, but it quite took some time.... Element edition tools for label renaming and element deletion are also available.
Some work was done also for the PackageDiagram: I noticed the possibility to navigate from a package to one of the other available diagrams. I have added two new options to be able to create a Description or an Implementation Diagram for the existing package. Now in this Diagram the Public and the Private sections are viewed as separate elements.
Finally, the Declaration Diagram got some improvements for the DataPort available inside a system: The general Data Port (already available) was split into three nodes: Input, Output and InputOutput nodes. The initial creation tools where replaced by more complex ones with a selection wizard (thanks to the experience with the implementation creation tools) and looks quite nice. Still need to place the input/output ports at the correct place because they now can be mixed up.
All in all, it was a week with some difficult moments, like the one when I got stuck in getting an element property - thanks Melanie for the help :) - but the design file is getting more and more complex with some nice features :)
