Description Andy Brook CLA 2005-03-10 10:54:23 EST 
It would be nice to use, out of the box, the common Problem and TaskList view.  
Yes they are 'IResource' bound, but promoting them to the orc.eclipse.ui.views 
package would mean I could reuse them rather than repurposing them for generic 
use in RCP apps.

My repurposed code wouldnt be considering backwards integration with IDE so is 
probably not of much use to the project...

The Eclipse BIRT project are also interested in using the Task List and 
Problem views in an RCP application. In this case, it is the example RCP 
version of BIRT.

We also anticipate that other developers will want to include reporting 
functionality in their RCP applications (i.e. include BIRT in their apps). 
Since the BIRT Report Designer uses the Problem View today, this is a problem 
for that community.

Is this is issue about non-resource models? Basically we can show anything with
markers now and lookup resources using ResourceMappings.

Please reopen if there is something else you are after.
Comment 3 Andy Brook CLA 2005-11-03 05:16:00 EST 
This is specific to cleanroom RCP applications.  I want to be able to use the
Tasklist & Problems views without having to import the IDE which polluates an
RCP applications menus & toolbars with IDE specific stuff.

My application manipulates data stored in a database, there are no locally held
files, no Resource perspective and definitiely no IDE!

This ideal would be a refactored TaskList and Problems view into the ui.views
package that was totally unhooked from Resources and the IDE and also hard
wiring of specific 'file' releated columns such as 'Resource', 'In Folder' etc.

Does this clarify?
Comment 4 Tod Creasey CLA 2005-11-03 07:29:39 EST 
The issue for moving these is that they are still dependant on IMarker which is
in org.eclipse.core.resources. Until we make them totally independant of IMarker
we can't do this.
Comment 5 Nick Edgar CLA 2005-11-03 09:26:02 EST 
If we were to factor it out, there really should be separate plug-ins for the
different views anyway.  E.g. right now the views plug-in has the Properties and
Outline views, which is problematic if an app wants only one and not the other.
Comment 6 Tod Creasey CLA 2006-04-07 12:54:21 EDT 
There are currently no plans to work on this feature
Comment 7 Denis Roy CLA 2009-08-30 02:09:18 EDT 
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
