Re: [mylar-dev] I have updated Mylar Integrator Reference

["Lubos and Alena Pochman" <pochmans@xxxxxxxxx>]

Mik,

your are welcome. It was a lot of fun developing the connector and using the best tutorial for Mylar - Eclipse debugger 8-).
I am almost done with the connector, now I am working on context and regular help.
I might also slip into release implementation of associations (dependencies).

In version 2.0 I would like to support multiple projects (as Eugene suggested), when Codebeamer
exposes project worksets in remote API (it is already in devel version per my request).

Thanks for Mylar team help, and thanks for Mylar!

Lubos: thanks again for the contribution to the wiki.  I have taken a pass
through it to simplify some and shorten in a few places, but pretty much all
of your content remains.  I also gave it some structure to encourage others
to contribute to the individual sections, since we still need the
documentation to grow.

Eugene: that's a good point.  Please verify that my changes address your
concerns.

Yes, being early API adopters is always involves more work, referring to the
existing implementations, and you may hear committers like me saying "use
the source Luke" ;)  But it does have the benefit of influencing the
framework as it continues to grow and stabilize.  I figure that our
priorities for 2.0 should be:
1) Robust APIs and good naming.  Better to get it right and try to make the
naming self-evident than to write about it.
2) Javadoc on public APIs.  Once APIs right, we should put a bit of time
into the many methods and classes whose role is not quite self-evident.
3) Help integrators grow the wiki docs.  Each time that an integrator like
Lubos tries to build on Mylar they generate useful expertise in the process.
The more of that we manage to capture for others the better.

Mik
