Is Codepro Analytix eclipse plugin available for Eclipse Juno or Kepler (4.3) version?

[Muthu Ramakrishnan]

Hello, Is codepro analytix eclipse plugin available for Eclipse Juno or Kepler (4.3) version?

I am trying to update with 3.7 update sites(http://dl.google.com/eclipse/inst/d2wbpro/latest/3.7) for the Eclipse Kepler(4.3) but seeing the below error message.

===
An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
session context was:(profile=epp.package.jee, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).
Unable to read repository at http://dl.google.com/eclipse/inst/codepro/latest/3.7/plugins/com.instantiations.eclipse.junit.ejb3_7.1.0.r37x201109091155.jar.
Read timed out
===
Not sure is this because of eclipse version mismatch with plugin or the site temporarily down?

Can you advise asap?

Thanks,
Muthu.

Hi

This is only my opinion but I started using CodePro a couple of years ago, just after Google took over Instantiations and, to be honest, I wish I hadn't.

It's got some nice features but I haven't seen any serious moves to keep CodePro up to date let alone carry out further development.

There are many other tools out there that, while they may not be as nicely integrated as CodePro, will work together.

I'm now using Cobertura for code coverage as I had some annoyances with CodePro not instrumenting classes with "test" in their names. As I remember it there was a way round it but it was a way that wasn't contained within the Eclipse project so couldn't be easily shared with other developers.

Obviously I still use JUnit but Eclipse had reasonable support for that anyway.

EasyMock, the mocking library integrated with CodePro, had also fallen by the wayside the last time I looked and people were recommending things like Mockito instead.

Finally, for static analysis/code quality etc I'm using CheckStyle.

I'm not explicitly endorsing those tools but one of the reasons I chose them was they had support in Jenkins too for Continuous Integration.

So, just my opinion but, in my experience if you haven't already put significant investment in time into CodePro I'd suggest looking elsewhere.

Best Regards
John

Thanks John for your opinion.

Actually we have been analyzing codepro analytix only for the JUnit code generation, and during analysis we have used Eclipse 3.7 and it works well. So we thought of recommending this tool to other developers for the easy use of JUnit generation.

But I faced problem when I ran this with latest Eclipse versions. So It would be nice if there is a way to run this with latest Eclipse versions.

Appreciated any ideas on this.

Thanks,
Muthu.

You're welcome.

Ah - I see. That feature is one that's very useful and, unfortunately, difficult to find a stable, free alternative. There are a few I found on SourceForge that claim to do it but none of the projects I found are showing as anything more than "Beta".

Yes. That is unfortunate. It would be nice to see Google put some effort into this or, as Eric Clayberg has mentioned in the past, putting it into a state where it can be open-sourced.

It would be worth looking at this thread (https://groups.google.com/d/topic/codepro-analytix/XVtOV_QLcts/discussion) as it looks like some people have managed to get CodePro working under Juno. Eric suggested late last year in that thread that the build people were looking to do a Juno build "in the next few weeks". I don't remember seeing that happening so, from a Kepler point of view, it may be a long time unless the same tweak can be used there.

 

Appreciated any ideas on this.

Hope this helps.

I have been able to run CodePro AnalytiX (r37) in Eclipse Kepler (4.3) with a subset of features still functioning.

To install under Kepler, you can copy all necessary plugins from your Eclipse 3.7 plugins folder into the dropins folder in Kepler.

After you launch Kepler, view the Eclipse error log to find out if CodePro is missing any plugin dependencies...

This can be a bit trial-and error, but depending which features you need it might be enough.

This is an old note, but if you want a tool for generating the JUnit skeleton, I would suggest that MoreUnit (http://moreunit.sourceforge.net/) is a better choice. It's obviously being maintained, and it also integrates several alternative mocking frameworks. It's also usable with either Java or Groovy. It's also useful for navigating between the test class and the CUT (code under test).

Hi,

I was quite inspired by the features CodePro offers.

But it's not downloadable now.

Can anyone please suggest, where I can get the CodePro Analytix downloaded?

Thank you
