Installation

• In Eclipse: Help, Software Updates, Find and Install, Search for new features to install, New remote site:
  • Name: jUCMNav
  • URL: http://jucmnav.softwareengineering.ca/jucmnav/updatesite/

From binaries:

Reporting Bugs / Usability Requests

• Send your bug reports to jucmnav-dev@softwareengineering.ca.
• Include reproduction steps, sample .jucm files and, if applicable, copy-paste the error log messages.
• If you're zealous enough, we'll create a BugZilla account for you

Enhancements / Fixes since 2.4.0

• New icons for the Outline and Strategy/Scenario views!
• Fixed bug 459: Now possible to add a new UCM and/or GRL diagram in the New File wizard. If none is selected, a UCM diagram will be added anyway.
• Fixed bug 532: Edit policies now prevent the deletion of the last (UCM or GRL) diagram.
• Upgraded the French version of jUCMNav.

Enhancements / Fixes since 2.3.0

• Core Scenario Model (CSM) Export and more performance annotations
• Small issue where Scenario traversal complained about not having a valid parent.
• Various bug fixes and enhancements in the MSC Export and MSC Viewer.
• Duplicate map / grl diagram now sets IDs for the new elements.
• Pointcut stubs and concern management for Aspect-Oriented URN. Work in progress.
• New preference for enabling/disabling the automatic addition of existing links when dragging GRL intentional elements from the outline.
• Major cleanup of SWT handles that were created and caused application to crash on Windows after intensive usage. (Sleak plugin was very useful)
• New collapse default for outlines for improved scalability.

Known Issues in 2.4.1

• Autolayout still a prototype
• User documentation not translated yet.
• User documentation only partially reflects integration of GRL and scenarios.
• There are no extension points to give your own scenario/strategy algorithms and no UI to choose them.
• Visibility of GRL contribution icons and text now can be set via jUCMNav's main preference page, but open editors are not automatically updated. You need to reload the model.
• Memory leak. With very large diagrams (30+ complex maps), you might only be able to open it half a dozen times before you run out of memory. Restart Eclipse to clean memory or increase JVM heap space until we find the memory leak source.
• If you have anything other than a UCM selected in the new file wizard, the UCEd import and the MSC export will not function properly.
