Développement d’adaptateur pour les distributions Eclipse

Abstract

Software reuse is the process of creating software systems from existing software. It has a lot of advantage in terms of time, costs and quality. The Software Product Line (SPL) is one of the most effective software reuse strategy in business. The BUT4Reuse is a generic and extensible framework for SPL extraction. As part of this research, we formulated the following problematic : exploit the variants of the Eclipse distributions for LdP extraction and subsequently, the generation of a minimal customized Eclipse product. The goal of this project is to develop an adapter for Eclipse packages to derive a minimal custom Eclipse product. For this purpose, we will propose a generic process for SPL extraction that takes into the consideration the software execution traces on use cases in order to know the concrete elements of software. Subsequently, we will apply this process on Eclipse. We had developed an adapter for Eclipse packages that take source code and execution traces as input. Finally, we evaluated our adapter on variants of Eclipse Kepler by the calculation of recall and precision and the comparison of the results obtained by our adapter and the old version of Eclipse adapter and generation of a minimal version of Eclipse. keywords : SPL, Eclipse, SOA, OSGi, Software Reuse,
