Discussion

New organization of development at KIT
- Assignment of tasks by bidding or last assignment
Build infrastructure
- Migration to 2019-06 finished
- Migration to new update site finished
- Migration to new build server finished
- Java 11 can be used now
- Branches and pull requests are built automatically
- Proper documentation of build process still has to be done
- Not migrated - relation to Palladio?
  - SoMoX
    - Is hosted on kit-sdq organization, TODO: transfer it to Palladio
    - Should be migrate to new target platform, repair build.
    - MoDisco might not be maintained anymore. But it still exists. Not all parts on main Eclipse update site.
    - Manar uses SoMoX (forked version that uses DevBoost JaMoPP). Submit patches and adjust the build script?
    - Steffen used version with MoDisco. SVN version compiles under 2019-06 (unclear if changed). Version could be pushed to Git. But git version already different than SVN version.
    - Unclear, if both versions should be maintained or only one. Depends on whether JaMoPP/MoDisco will survive switches to new Java version (unlikely for MoDisco).
    - TODO all: Have a round beer table chat at Klausurtagung. Someone (???): check how far it compiles currently with latest Eclipse version.
    - TODO Stephan: Ask Manar which version she uses, ask to prepare for discussion whether version works in 2019-06 and which dependencies are required.
    - TODO Steffen: Commit version into git as the current state?
  - StoryDiagramInterpreter
    - No active development. (based on work from Wilhelm Schäfers Group but with update site)
    - State: Archived as is. Already on Tycho, so build should be uncomplicated.
    - TODO Stephan: Setup build, if too complicated put it on the agenda again.
  - Reclipse
    - Old build that still uses buckminster.
    - No active development.
    - Decision: put it into archive on update site. Do not set up build job for now.
  - KAMP
    - related to Palladio
    - TODO Stephan: talk to Kiana / Sandro how to maintain it.
  - Q-Impress
    - Was Palladio related, but is not maintained for >= 7 years.
    - IDE is outdated and probably won't build. May die.
