Hello PMC!
As some of you already know, the members of
TOPCASED are gradually migrating components to Eclipse /
PolarSys projects.
Yes, that's great!
The wiki doesn't provide any architectural details about the source
code. Just a comment about "This code derives from Ecore Tools, but
works for any EMF model" so I'm not sure about the details of the
actual code dependencies; if the dependencies are something other
than purely the EMF Core SDK, then it's not a good fit for the Core
SDK, though potentially could still be in a separate SDK-like
feature, much as Xcore is in a separate feature that has Xtext
dependencies...
and wonder what is the most appropriate
project for hosting it. At first sight, reasonable choices
may be:
- EMF, as this view works for any EMF model
Yes, though it depends a little bit on how general this is as well
as the dependencies. I imagine you can't do an effective search
without some kind of indexing strategy and when it comes to indexing
I am concerned about the the extent to which there might end up
being different indexing strategies. At one point there was
discussion between the itemis Xtext folks and the SAP Query2 folks,
but that never went anywhere and the Query2 guys went AWOL.
Certainly Xtext relies heavily on indexing and has mature technology
that performs well...
- Sphinx, as it can be considered as a basic UI
component for building modelling workbenchs
Sphinx would appear to be quite a nature fit. I'm not sure the
extent to which Sphinx is decomposed into well modularized small
features that allow individual capabilities to be used without
pulling in too many things that might not be used...
- Other modelling infrastructure projects like
EEF or Amalgam
So is it primary a UI thing or is there underlying
searching/indexing technology involved as well?
What do you think about it?
That depends on the details. Of course I'm generally reluctant to
take on yet more support burden for a component that's ubiquitously
taken for granted...
