OCL/New and Noteworthy/Mars

Eclipse OCL New and Noteworthy items for the Mars 6.0.0 release.

Release Overview

The key plugins supporting the UML-aligned Xtext-based Pivot prototype for OCL 2.5 have been promoted from 'examples' quality to '1.0' plugins. However, the OCL 2.5 submission is not yet stable, so further evolution to '2.0' plugins may be required for Neon.
