[stp-dev] [Policy] Policy Editors integration

[Andrei Shakirin <andrei.shakirin@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi David,

We have made the first integration of WTP-based and XEF editors. 
Our approach works well, anyway we have some issues/improvements CRs.

1. XEF Editor title.
Actually XEF Editor always shows “Policies” as title for every assertion. It is not very convenient, because user cannot distinguish different editing policy parts, especially in case if more than one XEF Editor window is active. Is it possible for you to display the name retrieved from IPolicyDetailEditorInput.getName() method as title?

2. Adding new policy assertion.
As we have discussed WTP-based policy editor is completely responsible to add/delete policy alternatives (choices and unions). It is clear. But for adding new policy assertion we need some functionality of XEF Editor, because it can propose the list of available assertions and able to create appropriate XML representation of new assertion.

We propose two possible scenarios how to process existing and add new assertions in our integrated solution:
1) XEF Editor will always edit only one policy assertion.
2) XEF Editor will always edit all assertions inside one policy alternative (also contains three sub-alternatives).
Details of both scenarios are published on http://wiki.eclipse.org/STP/Policy_editor_integration.

David, which approach do you prefer, and which is realistic to finish for the Ganymede release?

Best regards,
Andrei.
