Re: [epf-dev] EPF API Questions

Hi Rajesh,

I just posted the "EPF Composer
Architecture Overview" over weekend. It should give you the "big"
picture.

As for your questions, it really depends
on what you want to achieve. What does your new model provides? Is it an
extension of the UMA processes? Do you want your "new" process
editors to look and behave like the Process editors in EPF Composer?


Regards,
Kelvin

Subject	[epf-dev] EPF API Questions

I am trying to create a Editor for WBS and
my questions are related to the EPF APIs. 

EPF API/Model, as I understand (very little :) have a UMA model. The base
Element is a MethodElement. 
So I have another Model to support a WBS, should I be using the MethodElement
as a base Class.
Similarly the AbstractBaseFormEditor and MethodElementEditor form the base
classes for the Editors. Should I be extending from that. 

I am basically not getting the big picture of the API's/Framework to start
extending it and creating my own Editors. 
The API's are very rich, but I believe lack of a Developers Guide to extend
it is leaving me swim in murky waters... Any suggestions are welcome .

regards
Rajesh.
