Architecture

CobiGen is build as an extensible framework for incremental code generation…​

Repository Organization

The CobiGen repository is organized in a one-branch-per-plugin schema. By that, we can release each plug-in continously and independently without side effects. On release the plug-in branch is merged to master branch such that you will find all the latest releases of each plug-in on the master branch.

Top-level folder	Description
cobigen-documentation	Contains git submodules for building and tagging the wiki.
cobigen-eclipse	Contains the cobigen eclipse bundles. The implementation of the plug-in is driven in cobigen-eclipse/cobigen-eclipse folder.
cobigen-maven	Contains the maven plug-in implementation.
cobigen-review	Project to be used for AgileReview
cobigen-templates	Contains template sets for different architectures
cobigen	Containts the code implementation of CobiGen as well as all plug-in implementations besides the eclipse plug-in and maven plug-in
ide-settings	Contains the shared settings processed by the oasp4j-ide

Build

You can build CobiGen core as well as each plug-in besides the eclipse plug-in separately by stepping into the plug-in folder, e.g. for the Java plug-in you could step into cobigen/cobigen-javaplugin and run mvn clean install to build the plug-in and deploy it into your local repository.

The CobiGen eclipse plug-in can build build by running mvn clean package -Pp2-build-mars. The profile p2-build-mars builds the eclipse plug-in by retrieving eclipse mars bundles as dependencies. Without specifying the profile, the build will fail. An exception to this is the cobigen-eclipse-test project, which has to be built using mvn clean package -Pp2-build-mars,p2-build-stable,p2-build-experimental.

Deploy

CobiGen deployment has to be distinguished threefold

Component	Deployment Type	Commands
cobigen/cobigen-core/,cobigen-maven/	MAVEN	mvn clean deploy
cobigen/cobigen-/ (except core). In case of deploying dev_javaplugin or dev_openapiplugin, go to cobigen/cobigen--parent/cobigen-*	ECLIPSE	mvn clean package bundle:bundle -Pp2-bundle # Uses the created bundle and builds a p2 update site for it. Do NOT use clean mvn install bundle:bundle -Pp2-bundle,p2-build-mars,p2-build-experimental p2:site # Uploades the p2 update site to the experimental repository. Do NOT use clean mvn deploy -Pp2-build-mars,p2-build-experimental -Dp2.upload=experimental
cobigen-eclipse/	ECLIPSE	mvn clean deploy -Pp2-build-mars,p2-build-experimental -Dp2.upload=experimental

Debugging with Maven

To debug Maven builds on any plug-in:

1. Step into the plug-in and start a console there.

2. Run mvnDebug clean install, it will output the port the debugger is listening to.

3. On Eclipse, right click your project → Debug as → Debug Configurations…​

4. Add a new Remote Java Application that connects on a socket on the port that was outputted by Maven.

5. Hit debug and have fun!
