Assertions don’t tell me anything 2. Justify your statements with examples, anecdotes Talk intelligently, critically about your solution Explain what your solution does, not what it is. Saying it’s evolvable, or not bullet proof is not enough You need to do the coding to understand the solution 3. Division of labor issues for larger teams Too short is just as bad as too long The best reflections were Roughly 3 pages long Had something interesting to say Assignment 2 Overview It’s Assignment 2, but now it’s a plugin! Plugin for Eclipse 3.2 Version matters! Java Language Spec 2nd edition Roughly equivalent to the Java 1.4 SDK Assignment 2: Use Case Assignment 2: Use Case Assignment 2: Use Case New Context Item: Concrete Declarations Assignment 2: Use Case Need to insert a root entry for each method invocation This will be your list of associated method declarations Eclipse Architecture argument field access fighter bar Eclipse Architecture Same as Assignment 1 You’re responsible for doing the cross referencing argument field access fighter bar Assignment 2: Priorities 1. 2. You must have a plugin working in Eclipse 3.2 Get your Assignment 1 working in Eclipse A text-based printout should be a good starting point Good GUI implementation + non-functional back-end is not a good thing. Before you panic Eclipse is Open Source Developed by IBM And they’re pretty anal about documentation Focused on Plugins You can actually look under the hood if you want Get the Dev Kit So there’s lots of plugins out there Fairly popular So there’s lots of tutorials and help out there Some Resources Eclipse Plugin central http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com/ Getting started with plugins http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-PDE-does-plugins/PDE-intro.html AST’s in Eclipse Plugin for Java AST’s in Eclipse http://www.eclipse.org/jdt/ui/astview/index.php Some Resources Strathcona http://lsmr.cs.ucalgary.ca/projects/heuristic/strathcona/ Strathcona tries to recommend relevant code examples based on the your current context. Use at your own risk. Installation http://lsmr.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/projects/heuristic/strathcona/installing Usage http://lsmr.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/projects/heuristic/strathcona/using Suggestions You definitely want to have a plugin working by next Monday Version your code via e-mail You MAY need to backup entire change sets. Play GMail against Hotmail Use pair programming if you’re having problems keeping everyone involved Labs Next Week: Monday Open Wednesday Open Let me know what issues you’re still facing
