I’ve been doing some development on the feature modeling plug-in during the past week and have implemented several new features and bug fixes (shown below).
I’m releasing the plug-in as a development release, for now. I have started rewriting the configuration backend, but my thesis deadline is fast approaching and I will not have enough time to complete the changes in fmp. In any case, please let me know of any bugs you find, or if you have a feature request. The source code is also included in the plug-in, so feel free to hack away at it yourself if you are inclined. When the plug-in is sufficiently tested, I will merge this branch into the trunk of the CVS repository on SourceForge. Give it a try!
New Features
- New, more robust and featureful constraint view.
- Constraints are shown for the feature hierarchy in addition to additional constraints.
- When a configuration is selected in the feature model editor, the constraints are evaluated and the status of each constraint is shown (ie. satisfied or not satisfied).
- Support for arbitrary propositional formulas when writing additional constraints. NOTE: constraints are written using node Id instead of an XPath expression. However, feature models created using fmp 0.6.6 are compatible, but will require re-writing the constraints using the new grammar. See below for examples.
- Ability to view Node Ids next to feature names in the feature model.
- Constraint input validation.
- Constraint resolution. An unsatisfied constraint can be resolved in a configuration by right-clicking and selecting ‘Resolve Constraint’.
Installation
