CollabXT SP

UPDATED RELEASE: CollabXT SP Generator 0.2.3040.28838 (Apr 28, 2008)

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 15:18:05 GMT

Yet another bugfix release to make the generator more tolerant towards project plan files. The changes in detail are:
* The generator did not tolerate project milestone items that didn't have predecessors. This has been resolved and the generator now reads project plan files containing such milestone items.
* A German satellite assembly was not properly bundled with the SharePoint solution WSP file, causing the webparts to not work properly on a German SharePoint server. The webparts are finally truely language-independent and should work on both a German and an English SharePoint 2007 server.
* A glitch in Project Overview webpart has been resolved that was causing the webpart to display garbage if no tasks were defined in the project.
* The project Plan webpart was not behaving well in combination with project milestones that don't have predecessors. This has been fixed.

Project Description

The goal of CollabXT is to operationalise the German development standard V-Modell®XT by creating a set of tools based on Microsoft's development- and collaboration-tools family. V-Modell®XT-based software development processes will be seamlessly integrated in the users' well known working environments. As such, these processes become a natural choice in .NET-based software development. To achieve it's goals, CollabXT defines a set of transformation rules, generators to automatically create workspaces in the target platforms, and concepts for further development and maintainance.

Specifically, it is the aim of CollabXT to provide a set of generators that automatically build V-Modell®XT workspaces in Microsoft SharePoint 2007 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team System/Team Foundation Server. The generators will build upon and extend the well-established standard tools for the V-Modell®XT.

The project CollabXT-SP supports V-Modell XT integration with Sharepoint 2007 Services.

28.04.2008: Quite a lot happening lately. With more people using CollabXT SP, more bugs were (and surely will be) found. To make it short, here's yet another bugfix release that should solve a whole bunch of issues. Please find this latest release here: CollabXT SP Generator 0.2.3040.28838
22.04.2008: A bugfix release has been released that should solve problems with an English Windows Server 2003. Even if you use the German Windows Server 2003, it's recommended to download this latest version here: CollabXT SP Generator 0.2.3040.25397
19.02.2008: A new version of the generator tool has been released. You can download this version here: CollabXT SP Generator 0.2.2971.35183
22.10.2007: This site goes online. First version of the generator tool has been released: CollabXT SP Generator - Initial Release

Project Goals

CollabXT provides automatic tool-support for the German V-Modell®XT IT-Systems development standard. V-Modell®XT is a standard development process that can be tailored during project initialization to fit project-specifc requirements. Starting from a tailored V-Modell®XT, the CollabXT concept provides tool-support to further operate the project. This project addresses a non-development, document management-only use case. CollabXT-SP targets Microsoft Sharepoint services 2007 and aims at:

Support for:

Integerated Application Lifecycle Management
Collaboration in distributed development projects
Automated process support and operation
Sophisticated user-assistance

Features:

Every (tailored) V-Modell®XT 1.2.1 can be used as basis
Metamodel-based process for deriving generators and process-extenders, including

Product Library, Process Documentations
Task Lists, Cockpit-like Web-Frontend
Support for German and English V-Modell®XT derivatives

The V-Modell®XT standard tool-chain is extended for Microsoft SharePoint 2007 (and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team System/Team Foundation Server - planned...)

Further Material

Getting started
Quick guide and How-To as Zip-Format incl. PPT/PPTx or as PDF-only. The slides also contain a list of open work items and an invitation to participate...
More information can be found here: Zentrum für Softwarekonzepte an der Technischen Universität München (in German).
Project homepage: CollabXT (in German).
We also have a (German) video available here. The video refers to an earlier version, but shows very impressively how to use the tool and what the results look like.

3rd-Party Open Source Tools

For CollabXT SP we used some nice additions listed here:

The V-Modell tools are also available as stand-alone and Open Source at SourceForge - 4ever framework.
