Hi Rich,

These proposed configurations are reasonable.

    Thanks

Subject	RE: [gmf-dev] GMF downloads

Hi Anthony,
 
I have often considered adding
the documentation to the SDK build.  I am less inclined to include
the examples due to our external dependency on EMF’s examples, which would
therefore force someone installing our SDK to install EMF examples.  Ideally,
we’d eliminate this dependency along with our UML2 dependency for testing,
as proposed here
(but which proposes replacing UML2 with the EMF library example).
 
Another consideration is size.
 The current SDK and Doc downloads are about equal, so bundling together
would mean a 23MB+ download.  I haven’t heard anyone in the community
complain yet, but then I’ve only heard one suggestion from the community
regarding our downloads, and that was for an all-in-one bundle a la WTP.
 
 
So, how about these download
configurations:
 
1.        Runtime
(requires EMF + GEF + WST properties)
2.        SDK
(Runtime + Tooling + Documentation)
3.        Examples
(requires SDK + EMF Examples)
4.        Tests
(requires Examples + UML2 + EMFT)
 
Sound reasonable? Would we
need a standalone Documentation download? Another suggestion is the Runtime
+ ECore modeling example.  Lots of options.  Perhaps the newsgroup
is a better place for the discussion?
 
And then, what about the update
site?  I wonder how many use it vs. downloading zip files?  Personally,
I find it more convenient for getting everything I want in one shot, and
it will better when the Callisto site is up.
 
Thanks,
Rich

Hi Team, 

The GMF SDK includes runtime and source. It does not include the example
plug-ins and more importantly our documentation.

Should the SDK not include everything?

When I download the EMF SDK or GEF SDK, I get everything including examples
and documentation (although I will admit the GEF zip file is named ALL).

Any comments? 

Cheers...
Anthony
