[january-dev] IMonitor -> IProgressMonitor?
|
Hi Folks,
I noticed the org.eclipse.january.IMonitor interface in January and was
wondering: have you considered using/reusing the
org.eclipse.core.runtime.IProgressMonitor (in org.eclipse.equinox.common
bundle)? There are other classes that may be useful in
org.eclipse.equinox.common...e.g. IStatus, IAdaptable, IAdapterFactory,
Path, CoreException, etc.
Despite the name (org.eclipse.core.runtime) these classes are all in
org.eclipse.equinox.common, and can be run on Felix or other frameworks
(we/ECF do this regularly on/with Karaf [1]).
There is some cost of depending upon other bundles, of course...no
matter how established they are...but it might be worthwhile to consider
this for parts of January.
Another thought: You could also consider using OSGi services for some
of your factory operations (dataset and metadata creation). It could
help reduce type coupling.
