RE: [dtp-pmc] Proposal: Feature Set for Europa

I agree.  There are uses for programmatic
access to databases that do not require UI.

Rob,

Re: connectivity-core -  End-user plugins for the core connectivity
functionality

Some consumers may want to include just the runtime core component for
deployment in a server or headless application.  It would be good
to split the core connectivity feature into 2.  One for "engine"
and another for "ui".
For example:

feature@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
      includes:
            plugin@org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity

feature@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx      
           
includes:
                
                 feature@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
                
                 plugin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
            plugin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Subject: [dtp-pmc] Proposal: Feature Set for Europa



Hey all,

I'd like to propose an alternative set of features for the Europa release,
listed below by downloadable component.  I think this breakdown will
serve
our end users and adopters well by giving them access to the features they
need, without having to pull down those they don't.

Here's the component breakdown.  (Note, I'm not married to any of
the
component or feature names.  Also, I've left out the branding plugins;
I
assume these are needed for every feature, but am not sure.)

Also, the following were raised in the connectivity committers' meeting:
1.  Features should be divided into non-UI and UI feature sets.  (I
agree
with this, but it is not reflected in the summary below).  (Larry
and
Linda)
2.  Feature definitions should be solidified and standardized to prevent
update site breakage in the future.  (Larry)
3.  A "headless" connectivity component should be made available
for use
with BIRT's runtime component. (Linda)

This component/feature summary is based on the current prototype PDE based
build system.

connectivity-core -  End-user plugins for the core connectivity
functionality (e.g. connectivity-core-R1.5.zip).  This component provides
connectivity features for adopters which do not require any other features
from DTP.  Feature breakdown:
      feature@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
      includes:
            plugin@org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity
            plugin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
            plugin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx



sqldevtools - Runtime for core sql development tooling (e.g.
sqldevtools-R1.5.zip).  This component provides a base platform for
SQL
development.  Feature breakdown:
