"Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (also known as OSLC or Open Services) is an open community dedicated to breaking down the barriers between the tools in the product and application lifecycle by making it easier to use lifecycle tools in combination. "

"The Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) is an open (creative commons) REST based service specification aimed at improving/simplifying Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) system integration. A number of aspects of ALM integration are covered by OSLC ranging from Requirements Management to Automation(Build/Deploy). The OSLC Change Management (CM) spec outlines a standard for creating, modifying, and querying for change requests (tasks) from OSLC based service providers. A goal of the Mylyn project is to implement a client for OSLC-CM (see [1]). Additionally, support for both OSLC Automation and OSLC SCM are part of the Mylyn restructuring proposal: http://www.eclipse.org/project-slides/mylyn-restructuring-review.html Once these plans have solidified, we can begin to fill out the roadmaps for each specification.

" Why Object Teams? Team spirit for your objects Building complex systems from isolated objects often yields poor structure which readily decays during system evolution. Objects should team-up in order to co-operate and jointly deliver complex behaviors. Objects play specific roles within a given Team. Context based dispatch Role instances are attached as specializers to existing objects. Object behavior is controlled by the currently active context that determines which roles are active at a given point in time. Contexts are reified into team instances, which may further be used to mediate between roles and maintain state of the collaboration. Modules larger than classes On the road to re-use of modules larger than classes two approaches compete: frameworks and components. For many applications white box frameworks are too fragile and black box components to rigid. Object Teams provide a middle road which balances encapsulation and adaptability. "

Mod4j (Modeling for Java) is an open source DSL-based environment for developing administrative enterprise applications. It uses a collection of DSL's to model different parts of the architecture, combined with manually written code. Currently Mod4j consists of four DSLs: the Business Domain DSL, Service DSL, Data Contract DSL and Presentation DSL. The modeling environment is seamlessly integrated into the Eclipse IDE which gives the developers one environment where they can easily switch back- and forth between models and code. The different DSL?s used in Mod4j can be used independently, but if they are used in collaboration they will be fully validated with each other. Apart from integration in the Eclipse IDE, Mod4j also supports the use of Maven. That is, using the DSL models as the source, the complete code generation process can be run automatically on a build server without the need for Eclipse. The Mod4j DSLs and the corresponding code generators are based on a reference architecture. This allows developers to model various aspects of the application and generate code that strictly follows this reference architecture. The reference architecture is described in a separate document. For a good understanding of the generated code it is useful to read this document.
