[iam-dev] Using the IAM-Buckminster materialization in more places
|
Hi,
Right now the IAM Buckminster materialization plugin only allows the user to pick from a list which dependencies he/she needs to be materialized (details here:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/IAM_Buckminster_Integration#User_guide). I think it would be interesting that more places in the UI were available to the user to invoke the materialization of a certain Maven dependency. For example:
- A contextual menu over a library in the Maven Classpath Container.
- A contextual menu over a dependency in the artifact search results.
- A contextual menu over a dependency in the pom editor (both in the "Dependencies" tag and in the pom's xml source)
What do you think of those places? What other places would be interesting as access points to the materialization functionality? Also, what do you think of the current UI?
At the moment, the org.eclipse.iam.buckminster plugin contains both the logic to materialize dependencies and the UI to use it. The plugin should (and probably will) be splitted into an o.e.i.buckminster.core plugin and an o.e.i.buckminster.ui plugin to make it more general and not tie the current UI with the materialization logic.
Regards,
Ismael
