RE: [dsdp-mtj-dev] Current MTJ code
|
Hi craig,
That's what I'm doing right now... I was only using the 0.7 release, but
then I note that there are quite a lot difference between the 0.7 and
what is on the cvs.
About reconsidering the underlying extension points that are defined on
current mtj, I'm keeping my mind open for that. it only make sense to
add an extension point if there is someone that will extend it :) and
right now I not completely sure that all extensions that are on mtj will
actually be used by someone (probably all depends on who will use mtj. a
tools developer? A javame user? or both of them?).
we can definitely work as a group to evaluate the current extensions and
see which ones will actually be extended. Sometimes it is better to
"remove" some of the flexibility to have a more "manageable
architecture".
If you have an initial list of what you think that need to be evaluated,
feel free to share with us when you have some time to work on it. That
would help about this mtj "reboot". Since you are in the project since
the beginning, your help is very welcome and necessary :).
For me right now it is not easy to understand all the architecture
decision that were taken in the past, and it is important that all of us
can work together to put the project in a good direction.
Thanks in advanced,
:)

Gustavo,
I'm assuming you are just trying to get your head around the current MTJ
codebase? Since we are "rebooting" the MTJ project, I would like to ask
that we reconsider the underlying extension point and plugin
architecture. I would like to see the group work together to define the
set of common "services" that should be supported, their interfaces and
their associated extension points. In addition, I believe that we
should be able to collapse the number of plugins to a more manageable
number.
For example, we know (for CLDC) we will need a preverification service.
This should be defined by an interface. It should be possible to
register a new implementation of that service via a standard Eclipse
extension point. There are many services in the MTJ code that can be
extracted and made much simpler. I can try to take a stab at a more
comprehensive list as time permits.
Thanks,
Craig
