[cosmos-dev] Management Enablement

[Mark D Weitzel <weitzelm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Joel, et al

I was working on the following enhancement....
183377: Complete Part 1, Project Overview
of Management Enablement: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=183377

In my head, management enablement is
about components that make things able to be managed.  In the case
of WSDM enablement, this would be any adapters that we build to have resources
expose WSDM interfaces.  In general, we'd have a well defined management
API, then we'd "wrap" that with WSDM.

So this got me thinking about....
195292: Support for native MUSE (WSDM)
managed components: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=195292

This enhancement was to provide the
Muse interface classes for the WSDM capabilities.  This seems like
the work we do here should really be in the management enablement component
b/c these would be the "wrappers" for the management APIs that
the DC components expose.  This thought led me to thinking about the
management annotation work that we have already in org.eclipse.cosmos.management.wsdm.
 It seems this should really be under ME.  Perhaps when we move
the WSDM tooling in, we should refactor this as well.

What do you think?
