[hyades-dev] [Important] Proposed change to the IExecutor interface

[Sung-Jun Pak <spak@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In order to support the Control Event
use-cases  (i.e.   Pause/Resume for test execution),  I'd
like to propose a change to the IExecutor interface.  Two new methods
to be added are shown below.

public
interface
IExecutor extends
IExecutionComponent {
        /**
         *
Returns
a
boolean
specifying
whether
the
control
event
specified
is
supported.
         *

         *
@param
controlEvent
Contol
Event
in
question.
         *
@return
Specifies
whether
the
control
event
is
supported.
         */
        boolean
supportsControlEvent(String controlEvent);
        
        /**
         *
Performs
the
control
event
specified.
         *

         *
@param
controlEvent
Contol
Event
to
perform.
         *
@return
Error
Message
if
error
occurred.
 Otherwise
null.
         */
        public
String performControlEvent(String controlEvent);        
}

Please speak up if anyone has an objection
to this change.   Although creating another interface is an option,
if there is no other consumer of this interface yet, it will just be cleaner
to modify it.

Thank you in advance,
