Re: [platform-debug-dev] Debug Commands to move to core plug-in in 3.3 M

[Darin Wright <Darin_Wright@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Debuggers,

I've been working some more on this
problem, so those that are interested should keep up with https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=168434.
The bug has two implementation approaches attached.

Rather than using the "result collector"
pattern, it seems that a "request" and "request processor"
pattern is more applicable, which could also be extended to the viewer
API.

Thanks,

Darin Wright

Subject	[platform-debug-dev] Debug Commands to move to core plug-in in 3.3        M5

Debug developers, 

In 3.3 M3, the org.eclipse.debug.ui.commands API package was added to the
debug ui plug-in to provide retargettable debug commands. These commands
will be moved to the debug core plug-in during 3.3 M5 as they do not (need
to) reference any UI interfaces. As well, since these command interfaces
are replacements for the standard "command interfaces" (ITerminate,
etc.), which live in the core, it makes sense for these commands to live
in the core as well. 

The original command API was based on the use of an IStatusMonitor to accept
progress information and collect enabled state as a result. Other platform
teams have suggested that we should separate progress reporting and result
collection to be more consistent with the "result collector"
pattern used in the platform and to avoid overriding the function of a
progress monitor. 

We will likely follow the same pattern in the asynchronous viewer implementation
- that is, separate the progress monitor and result collector.

I've entered the following bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=168434

Sorry for the temporary API disruption.
