[e4-dev] E4 Extension Points

[Eric Moffatt <emoffatt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm currently looking at what we're going to do as far as extension points go to enable folks to contribute e4 (DI) code into the IDE and I want to get some feedback from the e4 community as to the best way for me to do this...

I have two possible approaches:

1) Extend the current IDE extension points with e4-specific sections (i.e. extend the existing org.eclipse.ui.views EP to allow the addition of 'e4 View')
2) Provide separate extension points for the e4 bits (i.e. clone the existing org.eclipse.ui.views EP and tweak it to be e4-related

Do you *want* e4 specific extension points ? This is independent of having the ability to contribute them through fragment / model processing (which we'll also be working on in Luna). The BOF at last year's eclipsecon didn't come to a resolution on this (at least not one that I remember..;-).

Let me know what you think,
Eric
