Re: [eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] Initial discussion onthe'modelled'workben

[Eric Moffatt <emoffatt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Tom, this is true in our current environment...except
that they have about 15 public places that they can hose us with a bad
listener...;-).

Note that in an extendable environment
it is -impossible- to prevent bad apples from appearing. Note that anybody
can make a view that spews system resources like Font's and Colors, eventually
taking the whole workbench down (at best...;-).

What I at least try to do is to limit
the 'listener' to a particular custom view (note that JFace should suffice
for 'standard' uses and that we control the listener implementation there).
That way at least if the view isn't open we don't pay the price...

Onwards,
Eric

Hi all,

one more thing I think we need to discuss is whether we really want to
allow any arbitary plugin register as a listener on our model.

This has the drawback that if one missbehaving listener is added to our
model everybody is blocked! In a Plugin-Env where we don't control them
this a dangerous thing, not?

Wouldn't it be wiser to decouple this using a Message-Bus-Pattern? What
do you think?

Tom
