GEF and EMF both provide a command infrastructure. This should be pushed up to the platform for interoperability.
Created attachment 5217 [details] Command and command stack types This was targeted for JFace originally, but others have suggested that a dependency on the UI is not acceptable. Perhaps the commands can still go into the "UI" component, but as a standalone, non-UI plug-in, similar to IDocument stuff in the text plugin.
Nick, this could be JFace/Text but it looks like UI might have to get involved to. Will watch to see if this needs to move.
We have an R3.0 plan item for this, but it's currently deferred. Unfortunately, we cannot simply release your patch since it does not meet the needs of the Text and JDT teams (based on our last round of this in R2.1). We would also need to gather the requirements from other teams who are interested in this item, e.g. Lotus. We are currently unable to devote resources to this without detracting from the committed and proposed plan items. However, if you would like to pursue this requirements gathering effort yourself, and come up with a proposal, we could use the help. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 37716 ***
I'm curious, in what way does it not meet the needs of the Text and JDT teams? I don't recall any details being given. The comments Kai made were completely off topic since nobody actually believes that the actions made in the Navigator should be tied somehow to textual edits in a file. And, who cares? Are you saying everything in the platform must be used by JDT? If that were true, the property sheet wouldn't exist.
