RE: [pde-ui-dev] PDE Editors
|
I see. Well, I don't know if we need to put this into the platform. I'm
going to develop something similar to PDE. The target aren't plug-ins,
but cartridges (projects). There is also a cartridge descriptor (like
the plugin.xml). There are dependencies and I want to introduce a PDE
like build support. Sounds like it's easier to extract something like a
general project/component tooling support out of PDE. Mhm...

We already have a request for this one:

I'm not too hopeful about this one.
The concept of InputContext and multiple files open with the same editor
is certainly useful.
However, as generic as the editing models may seem, everything is
currently tied closely to specific PDE models.
It will take a huge effort to come up with a generic model/framework
that will be suitable and useful for every user on earth to use.
Plus, by definition, PDE is in the business of plug-in tooling, and it's
not the right component to start contributing editing models to the
platform.
