RSENewConnectionWizrd must be totally influenceable in functionality. Absolute mandatory here is: - The wizard open needs to be delayable as some system types must initialize backend tools before it is even possible to validate the enabled state of an system type. Before the wizard UI can be shown, the wizard needs to walk trough all registered system type and ask them if they are ready to open the New connection wizard. - The wizard delegate interface needs to inherit from IWizard or even should be an ordinary IWizard. Most of the method of IRSENewConnectionWizardDelegate are copies of IWizard anyway. Absolutly everything from IWizard needs to be passed from RSENewConnectionWizard to the delegate! - The user must have the possibility to come back to the system type selection page - The system type selection change must be passed through to the wizard delegate - One wizard delegate can serve multiple system types
Marked high prior as it affects directly if or if not we can release a product based on RSE.
- delaying wizard open: The 1st wizard page needs to call RSESystemTypeAdapter.isEnabled(). Could the delay be done in this call? - delegate using IWizard: I discussed on E-Mail earlier with Kushal. JFace provides the WizardSelectionPage, which could be re-used in order to provide an RSE Wizard that uses delegates which are IWizard themselves. We liked that idea but did not get to implementing it due to lack of time. What specific pressing problems do you have with IRSENewConnectionWizardDelegate that would need to be fixed by M6? - come back to selection page: this works fine for me - pass selection changes: - One wizard delegate to serve multiple system types: This sounds like new functionality that's not been tested so far. I'm not sure, though whether this would be achievable with a solution using IWizard and WizardSelectionPage (AFAIK that one thinks that all IWizards are at least different instances of the same class, such that they can maintain different data).
Extension point 'newConnectionWizardDelegate' has been removed and replaced by the 'newConnectionWizard' extension point. The new extension point is using ordinary IWizard classes as input, allows to categorize wizards and associate wizard to system types via wildcards.
In order to be consistent with standard Eclipse namings for extension points, the extension point should be named newConnectionWizards and not newConnectionWizard since there may be multiple elements inside the extension point, each of which is of type "newConnectionWizard". Also, please update the references in org.eclipse.rse.doc.isv: index.html topics_Reference.xml
Renamed to newConnectionWizards and updated ISV docu
Verified with I20070227-0820: New extension point is there and properly documented, functionality restored as it was before, going back to the systemtype selection and forward with a different wizard works.
[target cleanup] 2.0 M5 was the original target milestone for this bug
