The latest ModelBus® version 2.0 was released on the 22nd July 2016. ModelBus® as a tool integration platform enables the automation of development processes and supports the collaboration of the developers, e.g. by integration of development tools.
ModelBus® version 2.0 offers the following innovations:
- Support for the newest Eclipse versions
o Support for Eclipse Luna, Mars and Neon
o Updated ModelBus® Teamprovider, the support for Eclipse Papyrus now includes version 2.0.
o Eclipse Kepler and older Eclipse versions are no longer compatible
o
On
Mac OS the ModelBus® server is available with an Eclipse Mars or Neon base;
Luna support had to be retired.
- Integration of the Eclipse Communication Foundation (ECF)
o Implementation of the OSGi Remote Services and Remote Admin Services through the integration of ECF
o
Provision
of an ECF container that supports JAX-WS services and therefore offers more
flexibility than the previously used CXF-DOSGi
- Better support for standalone services
- More standard compliancy
o More official JAX-WS APIs instead of providing a tailored CXF implementation and integration layer.
o Standard JAX-WS annotations are now used for the ModelBus® interaction pattern.
o Thereby ModelBus® 2.0 runs on a plain JDK by default without the need of an additional JAX-WS implementation.
