[buckminster-dev] Corona / Buckminster Integration

Buckminster developers have been attending Corona’s weekly developer meetings and proposed an idea using Corona Collaboration.  The idea of using Corona to share Buckminster information such as RMAP and CSPEC specifications across a workgroup was suggested. 

 

The initial thought was to treat Buckminster information as a repository of information and to add a repository definition into Corona Project Context Container.  Project Context Container allows repositories of information to be shared across everyone in a workgroup.

 

Here is link to the Corona Wiki page describes the process on integrating a repository into the Corona Framework http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Corona_HowTo:_Integrate_a_Repository

 

Buckminster would probably create a repository adapter to access a set of files from the Corona Server and then start the existing Buckminster materialization process.  One item to keep in mind as you design your adapter is that you can expose your repository adapter as a web service using Corona SOA support.  It may also make sense to split the existing Buckminster plugin into two plugins one to be deployed on the Corona Server and another for the Eclipse IDE container the Corona Client plugins.  I think Thomas mentioned that some of the version resolution processing could be time consuming and could be shared by many people in a workgroup.  Once the version resolution process was complete a Container event could be sent notifying workgroup clients a new “Bill of Materials” was ready

 

If you have questions please post them to the corona-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx this mail list is actively monitored by myself and Dennis O’Flynn.  I will not be working the week of 12/24/2006 but Dennis will be in Wednesday through the end of the week.

 

Happy Holidays
