Description Martin Oberhuber CLA 2007-01-18 10:07:52 EST 
RSE should adopt Eclipse Platform concepts wherever possible. For instance:

* Improve drag&drop, copy&paste for Project & Package Explorer (bug 168366)
* Use Common Preferences for ssh and Proxy - bug 170883
* Adopt the Commands framework with retargetable actions (e.g. for Properties)
* Adopt ICU4J and Capabilities (needed for Europa)
* Adoption of new Platform APIs from 3.2 -- these include
  - field assist, 
  - SWT column sort indicators
  - Content Assist for Remote Search / Regular Expression field
* Use Eclipse IPath wherever possible for file path manipulations (bug 162950)
* Use existing Platform Extension Points for popup menus, property pages etc.

TBD later:
* Integrate Content Types / RSE File Types
* Use Common Navigator for the Remote Systems View - Platform/Team Remote Explorer (see bug 138583)
Comment 1 Martin Oberhuber CLA 2007-05-30 06:52:46 EDT 
The most important work items have been completed:
  bug #168366 - copy&paste to project explorer
  bug #170883 - common preferences for ssh and Proxy
  some work on using ICU4J
  using existing extension points for popup menus, property pages

More work will be needed in the future in order to adopt Platform APIs for field assist, column sort indicators, remote regex search, command/handler.
