Re: [mylar-dev] release status
|
Mark,
Apparently my patch introduced build time dependency on Subclipse
classes which is not acceptable for Mylar. So, we now wonder if you can
take a contribution of a new (optional) Subclipse feature, that will
have dependency on Mylar?
This feature will be responsible for managing Mylar's change sets and
linking Subclipse's own artifacts (change sets, files and history
entries) with tasks in Mylar. Basically there is two classes that need
to be packaged into a separate feature that will have dependencies on
Mylar and Subclipse will get a build time dependency on Mylar. I and Mik
can contribute this code, but we'll need your help to integrate it with
Subclipse's build.
What do you think?
regards,
Eugene
PS: worth to mention that Subversive folks provide such integration on
their side...

I tried to apply it and overall the patch looks great. However, it appears
to add a direct dependencies on Subclipse, which could cause the
corresponding class and potentially the mylar.team plug-in to fail to load
if Subclipse is not installed. Currently we only have reflectively-invoked
dependencies on Subclipse and declare the dependency as
resolution:=optional.
This brings up an important issue. The mylar.team plug-in should not have a
dependency on Subclipse, and instead Subclipse should be extending it in a
similar way to how Subversive is doing this:

Eugene: this would also allow the extra dependencies needed by your patch.
Do you think that you could persuade Subclipse to take this contribution in
time for 1.0? If not we can keep this dependency for 1.0, but shortly after
that we will need to remove it as we move towards not having dependencies
outside of the SDK and Orbit.
