Description Ed Willink CLA 2010-07-05 16:51:37 EDT 
MDT/UML2-Tools was useful in Galileo but is broken in Helios, because UML2-Tools fell off the train. It's Galileo releases erroneously depend on the deprecated org.eclipse.emf.ocl which was removed in Helios.

Workaround to provide an org.eclipse.emf.ocl

The attached ZIP comprises an update site with an org.eclipse.emf.ocl feature that conatins a dummy org.eclipse.emf.ocl plugin that references org.eclipse.ocl.ecore.

The plugin and feature have the irregular version number 1.4.300. 1.4 is higher than and 1.x release. 300 indicates that it redirect to 3.0.0.

This therefore allows the UML2-Tools dependency on org.eclipse.emf.ocl 1.x to be satisfied by the 3.0.0 release.

Since the version number is highly irregular, in particular there is no 1.x API compatibility, it is not clear that this can be included in MDT/OCL 3.0.1, convenient as it might be for some users.

Installation instructions for this workaround may be found at http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php?title=MDT/OCL/FAQ&action=submit#How_do_I_workaround_org.eclipse.emf.ocl_deprecation_in_Helios_and_later.3F.

Abusing versions confuses p2 and just creates greater problems downstream.

The patch is available for anyone who really wants to risk it.
