Description Abel Hegedus CLA 2016-05-25 09:29:28 EDT 
Since VIATRA now includes several views and wizards, we should provide users with a perspective that helps in developing applications with the VIATRA SDK.
In addition, we should remove the Query Explorer from being visible by default on Java and Plug-in Development perspectives.
Finally, this new perspective should use the new Query specification registry and result viewer UI instead of the hopefully soon legacy Query Explorer.

Can you upload a screenshot with the new perspective (maybe an annotated one)? It would help to review how good it is or where can we change it...

Comment 9 Zoltan Ujhelyi CLA 2016-05-26 08:09:44 EDT 
To start the discussion, here are a few things I might want to add; however, all are ready for discussion.

An interesting, philosophical question about the perspective: how much we want to support Java/plug-in development shorthands there? Given that all VIATRA projects are tightly bound to Java, and somewhat bound to Eclipse plug-ins, we might want to add some shorthands for those, at the bare minimum:

 * Wizard shortcuts
   * Create Java classes/interfaces
   * Create Xtend classes/interfaces
   * Generic file/folder
   * Create Plug-in project
 * View shortcuts
   * Problems view
   * Package explorer view (I know that by default the Project explorer is opened, but maybe Package explorer as optional include is helpful)
 

Furthermore, other perspectives often allow quick reopening of the most important default views. In our perspective, this should include:

  * Properties view
  * Problems view

Finally, in Neon there is a new view included in the modeling distribution called Contextual Explorer (id: 
org.eclipse.amalgam.explorer.contextual.ui.view.ExplorerContextualID) that visualizes the context of the currently selected model element, and seems very helpful for debugging patterns. We should consider whether we want to include it in our perspective and how.

sorry, misclicked
Comment 11 Abel Hegedus CLA 2016-06-02 07:01:24 EDT 
The VIATRA Variables view should be available from the View shortcuts on the Debug perspective.
Comment 13 Zoltan Ujhelyi CLA 2016-06-22 02:57:12 EDT 
The current state looks fine by me. I am closing this issue tentatively.
