Re: [eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] What I dislike about using EMF for e4...

Ed,

You have seen us make these mistakes before. I get it. But you need to at least consider the possibility that the full generality of EMF, after years of it being applied to increasingly general problems might not *always* be required.

In any case, if we are going to talk about communities, shouldn't we be trying to end up with something that "feels" like accessing the browser DOM from JavaScript (+ listeners)? I'm certain that people who understand *that* dwarf all Eclipse communities.


I have never understood what scripting has to do with whether we use EMF/WrappedHashMaps/... . I might be wrong but as far as I have used JVM-Scripting technologies something like this:

---------8<---------
document.body.style.backgroundColor="#FF000";
---------8<---------

is not possible and has too look like this:

---------8<---------
document.getBody().getStyle().setBackgroundColor("#FF000");
---------8<---------

As far as I remember the cool thing about the browser scripting engines is that there's an event fired when a field is set.
