This talk will give an update on the STP Intermediate Model (STP-IM) component. Several new enhancements have been added to STP-IM since EclipseCON 2008 and they include two-way support for SCA transformations as well as a builder-type approach for incremental convergence of different SOA artefacts. This component, part of the top-level SOA Tools Platform Project, already helps in integrating several editors available in Eclipse, including SCA, BPMN and BPEL and is used in production in the Spagic SOA suite. Support for other editors such as EID and Policy is being considered. The STP-IM is based on a common SOA EMF model and comprises several transformation plug-ins as well as support plug-ins such as the builder. At the end of this talk you will understand how SOA editors can be integrated in Eclipse using a common model and the productivity advances this approach brings.
