Re: [stp-dev] [Policy] Policy Editors integration

Hi David,

OK, I find alternative 2 from http://wiki.eclipse.org/STP/Policy_editor_integration also more convenient for the user, although it requires more efforts.

Anyway I see two "must have" things for the XEF in alternative 2:
1. Your sample is absolutely right, but only for the case if editing alternative has only assertions inside.
   But what about the case if editing alternative has both: sub-alternatives and assertions?
   If XEF editor displays only assertions it will be confusing for the user, because he sees one structure in WTP-editor and the other in XEF-editor for the same alternative.
   I think XEF should show also sub-alternatives, but do not allow to expose, edit and delete them (show grayed). So XEF editor should distinguish alternatives and assertions in input.
Showing the other alternatives read-only. This should take probably about 1 week to do. I will try to get this in for Ganymede.

Hi Andrei,

I'm getting close to have something that can be committed here.
Since it was a slightly bigger piece of work, I added a bugzilla entry for it: 223794

I've attached a screenshot of what I have at the moment. Embedded ws-policy elements are greyed out and read-only in the tree but the enclosed nodes can be viewed. Is this the kind of thing you were looking for? See attachment.

Cheers,

David
