Re: [orion-dev] application client vs toolkit frameworks?

[Susan Franklin McCourt <susan_franklin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The editor guys can explain the original intent behind "toolkit framework," but I think about some heavy duty text framework that perhaps presents a higher level API to clients but needs to know more detail about the implementation.

I read this as saying "if you want to know when the editor makes a change, hook an onModelChanged listener on the editor rather than knowing about the editor model and using it directly."
Ideally if you are just trying to embed the editor and respond to changes, you can get by with using only public editor "application" API. If you can't get by, then we would want to know and would look at expanding the API.

editor/web/js/model.js onChange says:
This notification is intended to be used only by the editor. Application 
clients should
         * use {@link eclipse.Editor#event:onModelChanged}.
         * </p>
         * <p>
         * NOTE: This method is not meant to called directly by 
application code. It is called internally by the TextModel
         * as part of the implementation of {@link #setText}. This 
method is included in the public API for documentation
         * purposes and to allow integration with other toolkit frameworks.

What is an application client and what is "other toolkit framework"?

I have a program that wants to know when the editor makes a change.
