Re: [dtp-dev] Request to remove emf-sdo dependency

[jograham@xxxxxxxxxx]

David,

The emf-sdo dependency appears in one DTP feature (for the Model Base
project). I will ask that team to look into removing this dependency for
the M4 time frame, and we'll update the bug below as necessary going
forward.

We are looking for ways to remove/reduce some of our dependancies in WTP
(in our whole "stack" of dependancies, not literally just WTP).

One of those is the emf-sdo plugin.

I've opened a bugzilla to track the issue,
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=208455
but thought I'd repeat it here
on these lists to be sure a wide audience is aware of the issue, and can
voice concerns or known problems ... in case there's any small subtle
issues that are not obvious from the compile time or manifest
dependancies.

So, please comment in the bug if there are issues or concerns, but I'll
repeat it here for convenience.

In an effort to "cleanup" and reduce our dependency stack in WTP, one item
that appears to be low hanging fruit is the emf-sdo plugin, from the EMF
Project.

But, it appears that we (JPA) have an indirect need for it, via the DTP
project code (I think though some connectivity code? if not elsewhere?).

Especially since there are now new SDO Spec Releases (a version 2, as
implemented by an Apache Project called Tuscany) and, I hear in my virtual
hallways, some other potential SDO implementations in some other Eclipse
persistence frameworks, then I suspect it's time to move off the "old" EMF
SDO plugin.

I'd like to request the DTP teams to see if this is feasible to include
this removal in this Ganymede release? And if so, probably the earlier the
better! (to avoid last minute discoveries of issues). Would M4 be
feasible?
