Re: [wtp-dev] should WST have references to JDT?

Arthur,

Yes I agree with you that this sort
of usage would be a possible exception ... though I think that this sort
of function would likely fit well on the JST side.  I suppose this
is analogous to how much of  the Java/J2EE related aspects of the
webservices components will live on the JST side (Chris correct me if I'm
wrong about that).    BTW, currently our XSD to Java generators
are not contributed to WTP and in fact they don't utilize the JDT... but
 I do see your point.

thanks

Craig

Craig, 

I agree in principal. Any generic function should be moved into the platform.
However, some tools may be generating Java, even in WST. Not all Java related
function is in J2EE. For example, what about XSD to Java generators? They
are not necessarliy in J2EE so they should be in WST. Or the reverse, generation
of XML from Java. You might want to access a Java model or some function
that is in JDT.

Subject	[wtp-dev] should WST have references to JDT?

Just curious to how others feel about this.  In my working model of
the WTP universe I'm assuming that there's no reason to have WST plugins
reference JDT.  I know we currently do have such references in our
WST code but I'm assuming these will eventually be removed or relocated
to the JST side.  I suppose the only exception that I can think of
would be 'generic' function that just happens to be currently located in
the JDT packages (and we  should really chase down eclipse to refactor
this sort of function).  Any opinions? 

thanks

Craig
