| Re: [platform-ui-dev] Proposal for CommandStack in JFace |
This proposal isn't acceptable for EMF. EMF's common commands are UI
independent - they can't have a dependency on JFace. The proposed API is
also not sufficient.

Please respond to

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 ;-)
