RE: [phoenix-epic-dev] Marketplace RESTish API
Ian,
 
against Community / Website since that's where the Marketplace Requirements PR (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=296131) was opened.

Todd,

 

Can you open a bug for these items.   Some seem doable but others might be more problematic.   Right now Nathan and I are focused on launching the site on December 8.  We should be able to get to these suggestions shortly after the launch.

 

Thanks

Ian

Nathan,

 

I've checked with our technical team and they'd greatly appreciate the following enhancements to the RESTish API, below because providing this additional information allows a much higher likelihood of different providers consuming the technology in an automated fashion and providing richer integration with provisioning.

 

Suggestions:

 

3. Node URL ex http://marketplace.eclipse.org/node/%/xml

 

- Should have back references to the categories it is assigned to.

- Should have a non-HTML 'short' description of a sentence or two.

- Should have 'votes' or such information exposed

- Should have a top-level list of IU IDs to be installed with markings for 'required' vs. 'optional': <to-install><iu required='true' id='org.eclipse.cool.software'/><iu required='false' id='org.eclipse.cool.addon'/></to-install>

- Should provide well-structured Eclipse compatible versions, currently there are different formats used for supported Eclipse versions, we should have an element like <eclipse-compatibility><version>3.3</version><version>3.4</version>...  or similar.

- Should provide hints as to the operating systems supported like: <eclipse-compatibility><os>win32,x86,win32</os><os>macosx,x86,carbon</os></eclipse-compatibility> with the contents being well-structured triplets or broken out as individual elements.

- Should have a flag indicating that the listing has been updated for 'automated install' including full specification of <to-install> and <eclipse-compatibility>, basically something for the listing author to 'approve' this as a well-structured listing instead of one of the listings we've migrated over time.

 

Regards,

Todd

Afternoon Devs,

 

I’ve finalized the initial implementation of the Marketplace RESTish API.  In a true REST scenario we would be allowing for Create / Retrieve / Update / Delete capabilities but in this case we’re only offering a retrieve feature.

 

You can find the documentation here http://wiki.eclipse.org/Marketplace/REST

 

I’ve tried to make it simple to use / parse.  The hope here is to eventually have something in Eclipse that will allow browsing of Marketplace directly.  Any comments / questions are appreciated.
