Build ID: M7 More information: IGridJob interface is coupled with the eclipse workspace. I would really like to use geclipse without having to manage an eclipse workspace. The interface IGridJob should be linked with a folder in the workspace and force me to manage an eclipse workspace while I don't need it.
In fact it is not IGridJob that is tightly bound to the workspace (this is just an interface that is tied to the Grid model but not to the workspace). So I assume you mean its implementation, i.e. eu.geclipse.core.jobs.GridJob, right?! Now I am not sure if it will be possible to decouple this from the workspace. I understand your use case but when designing all these things we always assumed that the user has a workspace. So in fact the whole implementation side of the model is thighly coupled to the workspace. Furthermore you also gain a lot from using a workspace. For instance you have a direct link to your in/output files that may not be possible without the workspace. Nevertheless I am not the expert on that. Therefore assigning this to Pawel leaving me in CC.
Actually yes. But in the top interface IGridElement there is a method that should return an IFileStore. This is a dependency to eclipse workspace. public IFileStore getFileStore(); In some case it could be safely ingnored like in the JobService implementation for glite: public IFileStore getFileStore() { // no file store return null; } In some case not, creating strong dependencies to file that should be present in the eclipse workspace.
