Prototype & Demo
What‘s next

3. Problem
ARIS Connect is highly configurable, more feature = more
configuration
But XML configuration is complex and error prone, XSD validation
is not enough.
Self Service Configuration is simple to use, but not as powerful as
XML, slow for new feature.
Slow down customization, a lot of support call
Back compatible reason, XML schema hard to change

4. Targets
Less error, less support call
Early validation on the fly, auto fix
Choose instead of typing (auto completion)
Refactor
Accelerate customize process, test early deploy faster
Integrated document
Navigate instead of search
Auto deploy and reload config
Connect SSC and XML
Zip and unzip configuration file
Apply SSC operations on XML
Drag-drop Layouting

5. Why IntelliJ
Powerful framework
Base on IntelliJ Community version, Apache 2.0 license
IntelliJ Plugin from other big players: Google, Microsoft,
Facebook…

6. Prototype
Focus on view configuration
Validate and auto fix unused wires, incorrect file name, incorrect free layout
children size
Auto completion for internal view reference, wire instance name, slot name,
layout properties
Instance name refactor, wire and instance config changed automatically
Show document about components and slots
Navigate to related wires, related instance definition, internal view config file.
Navigate to component instance config, create new instance config.
Quick search and hierarchy tree of configuration elements
