Overview

As a summary we could say that we improve the usability of the most important wizards, e.g. classwizard and featurewizard, by adding new features, extending the user interface and simplifying the handling.

Following the priority list of our project, beginning with the most important aspect of our work

  • editor based wizard execution
  • combobox for post- and precondition
  • pick & drop
  • undo/redo functionality within the wizard
  • docking the wizard in a fixed window - not a pop-up anymore
  • update permanently the editor while using the wizard
  • tooltips which provides help
  • beginner-tour

Work

Right now, we are occupied with:

  • compiling ES on Linux systems
  • supplying work to every member of the team

Problems

  • cannot open projects in ES (waiting for new release/build)

TO-DO

  • ...

Project Details

Editor Based Wizard Execution

Motivation

Wizards are usually only accessible through a GUI Window. This is convenient for beginners, but will slow down advanced programmers. So there should be a possibility to access the wizard through the editor directly with an interface similar to a command line interface.

Syntax

As the project is still in a starting phase, the information here is incomplete and could be changed.

'##' means that the two symbols have no whitespace bewteen

These symbols represent a stream of tokens:

  • classCreate ::= [num_of_parents] ## 'c' className [inheritance-list] [','{attribute}+]
  • inheritance-list ::= {inheritance_clause}*
  • inhertitance_clause ::=...
  • attribute ::= letter
  • className ::= identifier

These symbols represent one token:

  • identifier ::= {letter}*
  • letter ::= 'a'..'z'
  • number ::= digit+
  • digit ::= '0'..'9'
