Re: [dsdp-mtj-dev] API for JAD attributes

[Craig Setera <craigjunk@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I can't speak to your general proposal, because I'm not sure what is there these days for JAD attribute handling.  What I can declare is that most/all of the extension points are not dynamic aware.  In fact, the proposal for the SDK handling that I wrote about yesterday is that way as well...

I was working on a fix for the bug on Jad editor coloring [1]. And while at it I was trying to add some feature the editor as well. I want to be able to identify keywords provided by spec. and vendors from those that are from application. I could not really see any API to read all the JAD attributes on the system. The closest I got was the JADAttributeRegistry which does not really provide any methods to retrieve them. I have added a method to JADAttributeRegisty to retrieve them so that I  have a fix but I do not think this is a good solution. I would like to propose moving the jadattributes extension point and therefore the JADAttributeRegistry to mtj.core. We can also add an API  to retrieve JADAttributes.

As an additional note I suspect that jadattributes extension point does not handle dynamically adding removing of the extensions. It looks like the values for jad providers are cached and never refreshed.
