[Binah-devel] Binah Project Links

[Dexter A. <ve...@ia...>]

Tonjie--

Here's the links to our project you requested after the demo today. 
Please let us know if you have any questions or difficulties viewing the 
files.
Thanks.

The project is on sourceforge:
	http://sourceforge.net/projects/binah

The CVS Repository is available via anonymous CVS access:
cvs -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/binah login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/binah co plugin

or via HTTP:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/binah/plugin/
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/binah/plugin/src/org/sourceforge/binah/

The current class diagram is:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/binah/binah/doc/object_model.png?rev=1.3&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

It's a PNG file, which IE may not be able to read natively.  If you have 
access to Rose, the mdl's are in:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/binah/binah/doc/

A quick summary of the packages may be useful:
	plugin -- contains the code that interfaces directly with eclipse as a 
plugin.  This is where the launch configuration target is added (along 
with binah/plugin/plugin.xml).

	trace -- contains the code that uses eclipse APIs and the Java Debug 
Interface (JDI) to statically examine the project and trace the runtime 
behavior, respectively.

	command -- contains the commands and their factories.  Each JDI event 
gets turned into messages to Runtime objects (in trace), those 
RuntimeObjects then use Commands to update views, either loggers or 
renderes so far, but command package is designed to separate the 
concerns of tracing from viewing the execution.

	render -- no code here on the main branch, but see individual's playpen 
directories for current efforts.  We're still working on getting Java3D 
integrated into the build environment.  This is complex because Eclipse 
tries to segment and tightly control the classpath of loaded plugins, 
while Java3D uses some unconventional tricks to assist causal users.


These are the primary classes used in the implementation of the use 
cases on this iteration:

Use Case: Begin Execution of Target Program.
	o BinahPlugin, VisualizerConfigurationDelegate

Use Case: Select Interesting Classes.
	o Tracer, TargetProject

Use Case: View Acquisition of Locks on Interesting Classes
	o Tracer, AcquireCommand (and subclasses)
