This repository contains the Tigerseye-Plugin Bundles. Additionally examples showcasing the plug-in capabilities are available. A separate repository for the Example Language Plug-ins and for a Language Testbench Project. Where the latter makes use of the example language plug-ins.

The Tigerseye Plug-in has a dependency to parlex, a Earley-Parser implementation, which is hosted on a private Server of the Software Technology Group of the Technische Universität Darmstadt. Without the correct parlex project the Plug-in can not be build.

The following projects are necessary to run the Tigerseye Plug-in (the content description is not necessarily exhaustive):

• de.tud.stg.tigerseye.eclipse.core -

  Core functionality. (builder, preference configuration, grammar construction)

• de.tud.stg.tigerseye.eclipse.ui -

  User Interface functionality. (Tigereseye editor, preference pages)

• de.tud.stg.tigerseye.eclipse -

  Contains libraries and reexports plug-ins used by multiple Tigerseye plug-ins. (libraries: aterm, jjtraveler, jsr305, shared-objects; plugins: groovy-plugin, dslsupport, apache.commons.{lang,collections,io}, parlex)

• de.tud.stg.tigerseye.dslsupport -

  Contains the DSL framework classes. Projects that use or define a Tigerseye DSL need these classes.

Optionally other plug-ins provide further functionality

• slf4j-log4j12 - Tigerseye makes use of the SLF4J logging facade. This plug-in provides the static binding to log4j as the used logging framework. Expects a log4j plug-in.
• de.tud.stg.eclipse.log4jpdeappender - This plug-in is a log4j appender that forwards the logs to the eclipse error-console. Provides convenient logging output directly in Eclipse.
  Must be activated and configured from a log4j configuration file.

The external dependencies can be downloaded in one step using a project set located at

TigerseyeConfiguration/projectsets/OutsideGitDependencies.psf

The project set contains

• the parlex project as plug-in (private repository)
• the apache commons libraries as plug-ins (from orbit)
• a log4j plug-in (from orbit)

When developing it is also recommended to checkout the test projects

• de.tud.stg.tigerseye.eclipse.core.tests - Tests for the main Tigerseye plug-ins. Partially also contains integration tests that perform transformations using the parlex project.
• TigerseyeTestRunner - Contains configurations to run different sets of tests.

The tests are somewhat distributed. To easily run all available tests the AutomaticTestSuites plug-in from the projectusus project can be used. There are two configuration files that execute all tests using the projectusus plug-in. Those are located in the in the the TigerseyeTestRunner project.
