Greetings package-maintainers,
we got intensive discussions about how we notify a user about a new logged error. Especially Mac users are hit hard by this due to an inability on Mac to move the error reporting dialog below an existing modal dialog. See Bug 457115 [1] for a comprehensive discussion.
During the discussion all seemed agree that using Mylyn like notifications are a better alternative than using a popup dialog. Mylyn offers a framework for such notifications and we now investigate which impact its use would have in terms of dependencies and effect on the EPP packages.
From what I can see by inspecting the manifest.mfs and plugin.xmls using this framework would add ~7 Mylyn Commons bundles to EPP packages that do not have a dependency to Mylyn yet. My understanding is that these plugins do *not* contribute any new UI elements and thus would not affect the package in a user recognizable way.
However, since most epp packages already contain Mylyn Tasks, there are only three packages affected by this decision:
* Committers
* Java/DSL
* Automotive
I’d like to know if any of these package maintainers has any concerns about adding a dependency to Mylyn Commons and Mylyn Notifications.
