Re: [e4-dev] Remaining e4 work for Luna

I a customerwhich are already using this extension point to migrate their views to the new e4 programming model. I think it is a real nice way to migrate almost painless. The e4 wrapper provide the same functionality but for the customer having this as default option was a big win.

So obviously I would like to keep this option, even if fragment integration is solved.

Best regards, Lars

The e4view extension point forces the customer to code with the model manually for menus and toolbars instead of getting this from the model. If the model integration in 3x is complete I am leaning towards +1 for removing it (not that I have a say). We should not be afraid to give the early adopters a little bit more work. That is why they are an early adopter right? Especially when they have a better solution (assuming this is available of course).

Not as a hard requirement, but to be really useful in the E3 world, the "pure e4view" should have the following things:

1. The E4 and E3 selection services are not bridged - (would be cool to fix for M6)
2. The "pure e4view" is not a first class citizen in the e4 workbench (quick search??, view menu??, Tom and Paul have given some hints about this, would be cool to fix for M6 as well)
3 .. other things??


Cheers,

Wim

New 'e4' based extension point extensions:
     -  We've done the 'e4' view work but it hasn't been tested much and we're nowhere on either the Commands / Handlers side of things. Not sure how / if Wim's new 'mixed mode' work affects this...

Yes, my work could obsolete this extension point. The extension point is working fine btw but it has some drawbacks. See my analysis of the drawbacks here [1]
