Re: Re[2]: [equinox-dev] new services

Really? I would have thought that equinox.ip would be to address the
networking stack at the internet protocol level.

The point is, clear to you is not clear to me :-) I would have guessed
internet protocol, followed by intellectual property. I wouldn't ever
make the leap to provisioning, or whatever it is that it stands for.

The IP process moves along depending on the other work they are doing.
 Right now it is pretty busy with Europa clearances etc.  I will look into
this.  We should be able to get this working with the parallel IP process
now that Eclipse has an official incubator.

As for naming:
... equinox.ip : this is still fine with me.  While IP = Intellectual
Property, in the context of equinox its not clear that anyone will be
confused.

... equinox.util : I agree to a certain degree that combining with
equinox.common might be a good path but I am concerned by overlapping
function etc and the size of util.  So initially we should create
equinox.util but I would like ot explicitly state that we have to review
this structuring before graduation.  It will be confusing for people to have
equinox.common and equinox.util with no story for how they relate to one
another.

Hi Jeff,

Is there any indication when IP verification procedure will complete?

Some comments:

org.eclipse.equinox.provisioning -> org.eclipse.equinox.ip
such naming is not a very good idea - mainly because IP = Intelectual
Property
maybe we may use "initialprovisioning", "initialprv" or "iprv"
(org.eclipse.equinox.iprv)?

org.eclipse.equinox.util
We may combine with equinox.common (preferable). But maybe initially it will
be separately service?
Now it is used in all other implementation because it provides basic
services for logging, collections, xml parsing, timer, thread pooling,
object pooling etc.

Great point (about provisioning).  Yes, we should do a naming review.  It
probably makes sense to do that before committing just to reliminate churn.
 Let me take a initial pass here...

org.eclipse.equinox.component
- Name is too general as noted in the originating bug report.  Choices here
are org.eclipse.equinox.scr (Service Component Registry) or
org.eclipse.equinox.ds (replace the current "ds" bundle when the new one has
been reviewed and graduated.
- personally I lean towards "ds".  If all goes well would we keep to
implementations around?  If not, why change the name?

org.eclipse.equinox.io
- no particular issues here

org.eclipse.equinox.provisioning
- Name collision with the Equinox provisioning work
- perhaps consider org.eclipse.equinox.ip?  Other options/thoughts?

org.eclipse.equinox.util
- conceptual conflict with equinox.common.  Consumers will be confused as to
what is in common vs. util.
- consider combining?
- util appears to have lots of useful stuff in it.  Reviewing how and when
it is used may help us come to some naming/grouping conclusions.

org.eclipse.equinox.wireadmin
- collides with the current wireadmin bundle.
- as with the DS implementation, perhaps the new one should just replace the
old one when it graduates?  In that case we can leave the name as is.

Thoughts?

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

No problem from our side after the IP verification process complete.

Maybe also is good to discuss implementation packages and names because it
is good do refractoring prior the check-in.
Especially I think that we agree on the name org.eclipse.equinox.scr for
Declarative Services.

Regarding initial provisioning - currently I use similar to OSGi package
name (org.eclipse.equinox.provisioning) but because of the
conflict with general provisioning work already being done in the incubator
we may decide for the other name.
What do you think?

As the new services from Prosyst come into the repo and builds, we should
ensure that the Bundles page is updated.  It would actually be a great idea
to create some wiki pages around each of the services (new and old) to tell
people about the options, how to run/use them, etc.  Can the people owning
the services take the task of driving this content?

Jeff
