Hi all
In https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=399776 there's a
suggestion to provide an EGit console to show push messages instead of
showing the results in a dialog. The suggestion is to provide something
similar like the svn console show here: http://www.eclipse.org/
subversive/documentation/images/svn_console.png
IMHO this is a nice idea (and we do that in OpenShift tooling).
Nevertheless I'd like to start discussing how we'd present the info where
we currently show the commits that were pushed (which also shows that some
new branch was created). A simple text based stacked view seems not good
enough. Any takes?
- I think the console should be backed by a log file
- maybe markdown or json ?
- we need a way to render that nicely in a console
- some text (e.g. commitID, branch, repository etc.) could be rendered as
hyperlinks which could navigate to the corresponding object in the most
appropriate EGit view
- large content in that console shouldn't eat a lot of heap so something
like a treeview is maybe too expensive ?
- appending new entries should be cheap
That could probably work for many cases ?
