Re: [ecf-dev] new feature request

Hi Ed,
Ed Burnette wrote:
Can you share an editor you already have open?
Not yet, although this would be a logical next feature...along with the
ability to remotely control (to some degree) scrolling, marker
creation/removal, etc. I need to look a little more closely at the
editor extension points that allow listeners (to editor events) to be
set up and menu items/actions added to the context menu.
Will each user see each others changes, either while they are typing them, or when they save?
No...not yet anyway. The original request from Ward and Bjorn for this
'shared editor' was simply for a shared editor for simple walkthroughs
and what Ward refers to as 'exploratory testing'.
This doesn't at all invalidate the idea of detecting local changes,
serializing them, sending them, receiving them, deserializing those
changes and applying them to the remote copies...along with having some
mechanism (defined by extension point) to prevent or resolve
synchronization conflicts...but the initial stab at this is intended
simply to support a more modest (but still potentially quite useful) use
case.
