Re: [pde-dev] Design patterns in PDE UI Incubator ApiTools

[Oleg Besedin <obesedin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmm. You are either confusing API tools
with something else or trying to start a flame.

In case you actually wanted something
constructive to come out of this, I'll bite and answer.

As far as I know API Tools is the PDE
incubator project. It is an open source product under development.
It has been in a semi-useful state since January 2007. You say that Rational
developed a  "mission critical and safety critical"
application that uses API tools as a "core technology"?
The API tools have not even shipped yet :-). I think you are confusing
it with something else. 

As far as design documentation goes,
if you want to write one I could help. So far the priority was on actually
developing the product. The resources are not coming from some unlimited
pool and we certainly could use more contributors. In this case it is even
easier than usual as for documentation you only need access to Eclipse
Wiki (which is easy to get).

Sincerely,
Oleg Besedin

Now that is irony for you.  A Rational employee
asking for, and not getting, 
design information about a product that is the core technology behind a
CASE 
tool suite built by her own company.

Is it only me or does that not bode well for the certification(ability)
of 
the tools in mission critical and safety critical applications?
