[platform-ui-dev] Proposal for CommandStack in JFace

[Randy Hudson <hudsonr@xxxxxxxxxx>]

GEF provides a Command and CommandStack
implementation. This should be moved into JFace (which was proposed _too_
late during the 2.0 developement cycle).

Other technologies such as EMF [Edit]
also require their own Command and CommandStack. We have both invented
the wheel. When plugins combine GEF and EMF, it becomes difficult to deal
with multiple definitions of the same concept/classes.

Attached is a proposal for a Command
and CommandStack implementation.  Moving them into JFace will simplify
future WSAD releases as well as the work of others who are combining the
"Tools" plugins mentioned above.

We are considering one more feature
for the CommandStack (the ability to append to an executing command), but
the code itself it pretty simple and stable ;-)
