"Mgrate WinCASE Tool into Eclipse"

Supervised by Dr AJ Cowling

Abstract

The objective of the project is to investigate the possibility of migrating the current WinCASE system as a plug-in into the Eclipse platform. As the achievement, the project employs extension point make a link with its corresponding class to implement WinCASE basic structure, e.g. the WinCASE perspective, the WinCASE preference, the WinCASE views, and the WinCASE help content.

To build as a meta-CASE, the WinCASE plug-in has figured out multiple diagram editing environments, e.g. class diagram editor, dataflow diagram editor, and state charts editor. Now, class diagram editor has been implemented basically via MVC model, two others just build extension point and class file prototype. Both they need to be implemented functionality in future. The whole implementation section has been scheduled by employing eXtreme Programming (XP) iterations.
