Eclipse relevant SAP Focus – Java Standards

Standard Java, JEE and PersistencyEclipse offers with JDT a superior Java Development EnvironmentWTP offers infrastructure and basic tools for Java EESAP implemented its Java EE tools on top of WTP and will increase itsinvestments to support WTPSAP strongly supports persistency historically and will contribute to DTP(MaxDB, DDIC)Eclipse with WTP, DTP and STP can become a solid foundation forEnterprise SOA tools by alignment of roadmaps and concepts and byaccelerating the progress in tool support for “commoditized Java devparadigms” beyond JDT

Eclipse relevant SAP Focus – Web UI

Web UISAP invented Web Dynpro, an Enterprise quality Web UI frameworkMVC based convenient Web UI Modeling with best support of Reuse,Personalization and flicker free performanceWeb Dynpro overcomes many deficiencies of Java EE UI techniques. It isa key element of SAP’s Java strategy and will coexist with other UItechnologies like JSF and JSPLeverage Eclipse UI tooling for Java EE UI support and seamlesslyintegrate with it, e.g. JSF Editor from WTP and embedding of JSPcomponents in Web Dynpro UIs

“Software development is becoming software assembly, with componentssourced from around the world and based on a wide range of implementationtechnologies. …objective is to leverage and extend the Eclipse platform to makemixed-component development as efficient as plug-in development. The basicapproach is to introduce a project-agnostic way of describing a developmentproject’s component structure and dependencies, and to provide a mechanismfor materializing source and binary artifacts for a project of any degree ofcomplexity.”

This quote from Eclipse Buckminster FAQ could be a quote for a FAQ ofSAP Component Model.

Eclipse relevant SAP Focus –Development Infrastructure

Development Infrastructure

SAP invented the SAP Component Model to support software structuringand reuse as well as software production and assemblingSAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure (NWDI) is built around SAPCM with full-fledged Source Code Management System, Automated Buildand a Configuration and Change Management SystemSAP Tools are closely integrated with the SAP Component Model and theDevelopment InfrastructureSAP is monitoring upcoming component model standards and check them forconsolidation. Buckminster and STP(SCA) might be the right direction

Eclipse relevant SAP Focus –Modeling Infrastructure

Modeling Infrastructure

SAP developed a Modeling Infrastructure (MOIN)(Enterprise) design-time repository that manages modeling contentBased on standards like MOF, JMI, XMI, OCLPlatform independent, can run on Eclipse, on a JEE server, and standaloneenvironments

Frameworks and tools on top of MOINGraphical Framework for development of graphical modeling toolsTool Generation Framework (for generation form-based Editors/Viewers)Graphical tool for editing of MOF Meta-models (that also serves as showcase forMOIN and other frameworks)

Eclipse relevant SAP Focus –Modeling Infrastructure

Modeling Infrastructure and Server SupportSAP supports an Enterprise Ready Modeling Infrastructure(MOIN) based on MOF 1.4Enterprise Readiness means

Consistency of a huge and highly-connected modelnetwork (constraints, refactoring, concurrent changes)Information system on huge amounts of modeling contentwith efficient query capabilities (Server Scenario with DBsupport)Eclipse, JEE Server and Standalone Build scenario to besupported

Overlap with EMF, EMFT and GMF. Consolidation is of highvalue and SAP ready to invest in that

Summary SAP Eclipse Experience

The SAP Eclipse Story - SummaryExcellent Java development environment and best tool platform with hugeacceptance and market momentum. The right decision in 2002SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio is based on Eclipse.It is THE fundamental Design Time Environment in SAP’s important productSAP NetWeaver Composition EnvironmentEclipse is driver and enabler for tool consolidation in SAP’s JavaDevelopment and Modeling tools areaCurrent focus for SAP contribution is WTP and DTP. The SAP Memoryanalyzer is planned as contribution.Modeling and Development Infrastructure are key for SAP. SAP’s challengeis to align their Eclipse specific implementations to upcoming CommunityStandards. EMF, EMFT, Buckminster, STP, Team API, RCP are verypromising projects.Meritocracy is key and it is less about money and market support than aboutdevelopment engagement. Therefore SAP considers Strategic Consumermodel as honors towards Eclipse. SAP will increase its contributioninvestments.SAP loved to see fast commoditization (e.g. JEE), but the Business model…
