Re: [e4-dev] Unique Id generation Proposal
|
Hi All,
Just FYI...in case it's useful for this effort...
ECF core has an ID interface/service and extensible unique ID creation
(i.e. you can create your own Namespace and guarantee uniqueness within
that Namespace). We also have support for GUID/sha1-based identifiers,
URI-based IDs, String and long-based IDs as well.
It sounds like it could be helpful here...I've thought this several
times previously...as whether an identifier is within process or out of
process (what we use IDs for general), it can be useful to have explicit
guarantees of uniqueness within a namespace (which, of course, you don't
get with String, URI, etc).
It's in ECF core, which is distributed with Eclipse platform (via p2).
Specifically, org.eclipse.ecf.identity bundle,
org.eclipse.ecf.core.identity package.
Hopefully this helps with your e4's use case here. If there are
questions about extension, usage, etc., please let me know.

Yes, this is true. I have reservations about merging here but can't
quite put my finger on it at the moment.
