Overall Practices Library
This page describes general release information for the practices library as a
whole. Individual plug-ins and practices may have their own release information.
Main Description

EPF base

1.5 

This is the initial release of the practices library, which is included as part of the Eclipse Process Framework (EPF) 1.5.

Most of the open source content derives from OpenUP 1.0, refactored to support independent practices.

These are the key new features in the core:

  • Work product slots to allow practices to be independent of each other
  • Default navigation view so that ad hoc configurations of practices can be published easily with a view
  • Guidance and work products reusable across practices have been moved into common plug-ins
  • Category, role, and tool definitions separated into separate plug-ins to allow them to be easily removed and replaced by alternative categorizations.

RMC extension

7.5.0 iFix1

Corrections to "supporting" plug-in attributes to ensure published configurations only display referenced shared content.

7.5

This is the initial release of the IBM practices, which are included as part of Rational Method Composer (RMC) 7.5.

IBM extensions to the core include the following:

  • An IBM version of the default navigation view so that ad hoc configurations of practices can be published easily using process builder.
  • Additional guidance and work products reusable across practices.
  • Additional slots, categories, role, and tool definitions to support IBM practices and IBM practice extensions.
