In this talk I will present the fundamentals of Eclipse Sirius : its objectives and principles, illustrated with examples of usage in several different domains. We will also see how Sirius integrates with other modeling components to provide a complete stack for creating advanced modeling workbenches. We will end with a presentation of lastest new features and an overview of the current roadmap. speaker : Pierre-Charles is the Product Lead on Eclipse Sirius and the maintainer for GMF Runtime and EMF Services, two Eclipse projects Sirius relies on. He holds a PhD in Software Engineering from University of Nantes.

21. Sirius Desktop
&
Sirius Web

22. Sirius Desktop is Here to Stay
● A mature project
○ many products depend on it
● Focus on maintenance work
○ do not break existing modelers
● Stay up to date
○ new versions of Eclipse
○ new versions of Java
● Some new features will still be added
○ sponsored development
○ interop with Sirius Web

23. Same Principles, Different Technologies
● Generic platform
○ Applicable to any domain
● Multiple ways to represent your models
○ Leverage modern web browsers
for more advanced representations
● Low-code modeler definition
○ Compatible with existing modeler definitions
● Extensible and customizable
○ Integrate in the web and could ecosystems

24. Roadmap

25. Past Releases
● Actively maintained branches
○ 5.1.x, 6.1.x, 6.2.x, 6.3.x
● Two major versions in 2019
○ 6.2.0 & 6.3.0
● Focus on stabilisation work
● Ensure compatibility with recent Eclipse
○ Sirius part of all release trains
● Sirius 6.3.1 just released yesterday!
○ part of Eclipse 2020-06

26. Improved Rendering for Exported SVG (6.3.1)

27. "Tunnel" Rendering for Edge Crossings (v6.3.1)

28. Operand Labels Always Readable (v6.3.1)

29. What to expect next?
● July: Obeo Designer CE & TE
○ based on the latest Sirius 6.3.x
● Autumn:
○ next major release (6.4 or 7.0)
○ compatible with Capella 5.0
○ move to Java 11
● First contribution of Sirius Web
○ before the end of the year
