[wtp-dev] DTD component changes for M4
|
While the DTD component entries in the M4 milestone plan mention
refactoring and cleanup changes, it understates the scale of the changes
being prepared for M4.
The DTD component is largely a leaf component contributing to other
extension points and providing very little, if any, APIs; most of it will
be made internal as per the naming guidelines. Additionally, the six
plugins that make up the DTD component will be combined into just two
plugins -- dtd.core and dtd.ui. At David Williams' recommendation, the
relocated sources will be placed in individual source folders according to
their original plugin. Ideally there will be no outwardly visible changes
beyond the reduction in the number of plugins. If anyone wishes for any
part of the DTD component to be provided as API beyond M3, now is the time
to speak up. These changes are intended to be committed over the
weekend/very early next week in preparation for next week's integration
build.
