Re: [platform-debug-dev] Plans for IDebugContextProvider API?

[Darin Wright <Darin_Wright@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, we are working towards making the
debug context infrastructure API in 3.3. See the top level plan item (http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/eclipse_project_plan_3_3.html)

APIs for custom debugger integration.
Publish public APIs based on the provisional APIs introduced in 3.2 to
support custom debugger integration. Features include flexible hierarchy
in debug views; asynchronous, cancellable interactions when retrieving
content and labels; model-driven view updates; a debug context service
for retargettable actions, flexible view wiring and pluggable source lookup.

Subject	[platform-debug-dev] Plans for IDebugContextProvider API?

Hi,

Using the IDebugContextProvider concept introduced in Eclipse 3.2 you 
can use the Memory View and other context-sensitive debug related views
without having a running source code debug session. IMHO, that's a very
good thing. However, IDebugContextProvider and its mate 
IDebugContextListener are located in the 
org.eclipse.debug.internal.ui.contexts.provisional package and 
DebugContextManager (from where you actually add your 
IDebugContextProvider implementation) in the 
org.eclipse.debug.internal.ui.contexts package.

Is it the intention to make these three classes/interfaces public in 
Eclipse 3.3 so that the IDebugContextProvider concept can be fully used?

Kind regards,
Stefan
