+1 think its a very realistic plan after reading all from Elias about current state of Riena + RAP -esp. in usecase of an Enterprise Application, it makes sense to go the 3.0 way we'll follow this path to RAP and e4 from redView ;-) ekke Am 10.08.10 22:19, schrieb Elias Volanakis: +1 I think Riena on RAP and Riena on e4 good goals to pursue.

So I have explain a little for a change in our plans and I hope I dont surprise anyone here. When we create Riena 2.0 for the Helios release we published that our next release would be 2.1. in december this year. That pretty much followed what we did the year before where we have a minor release after 6 month. Now several month in the time "after Helios", when we looked for ways to go we had some interesting discussions among us committers (mostly face 2 face or telco's). We'd like to make a major step in making Riena work really way better under RAP. A second goal is to investigate and prototyp making Riena run on e4, not only on the compatibility layer but also using the new workbench model and all the other new stuff that is part of it. However we cannot do all at the same time. In any event, having a midterm release in december seems to stop us from making a big step forward. So we decided that our next release is Riena 3.0 which will come with Indigo in June 2011. We will publish milestones along the line with Indigo (Eclipse 3.7). A new major version is not only necessary because it is a big step forward but it also need some flexibilty (nice wording :-) ) for breaking API. We will do that we the same kind of documentation and caution that we used for Riena 2.0. But certain things will need to change. Our main focus will be to improve the RAP support. And that will also mean that we have to make a number of changes in our code. Elias was kind enough to start a wiki page http://wiki.eclipse.org/Riena_on_RAP with some issues that we need to address. The second task (with less prio) is to investigate what it means to also run on the native new API of e4 and build prototypes for that. We have already started and will keep on going there and start to create bundles for that. Any feedback, comments, contribution, help or anything is welcomed at this point in time. If you have an opinion about the direction we are taking let us know...... christian ------------------------------------------------------------- compeople AG Untermainanlage 8 60329 Frankfurt/Main fon: +49 (0) 69 / 27 22 18 0 fax: +49 (0) 69 / 27 22 18 22 web: http://www.compeople.de/ Vorstand: Jürgen Wiesmaier Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Christian Glanz Sitz der Gesellschaft: Frankfurt/Main Handelsregister Frankfurt HRB 56759 Ust-Ident.-Nr: DE207665352 ------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ riena-dev mailing list riena-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/riena-dev --
