[wtp-dev] API to get a list of required facets given a "top" facetversio

[Jim Zhang <jzhang@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, currently if a required facet is
not selected in the 2nd page of the project creation wizard, you'll get
a messages stating something to the effect of "missing required facet
ABC 1.0".  However there's no current API support for obtaining
a list of required facet (or facet versions) given a "top facet version".
 I understand that multiple facet versions can fulfill a requirement
so there is no unique list to return.  But at least one list can be
accurately calculated: a list of highest-versioned facets to fulfill a
top facet version's requirement.

Why I need such a list is because I
want to enhance the 1st page of the project creation wizard to have some
combo boxes to drive the facet selection on the 2nd page.  One of
the things I need to figure out is the required facet versions list.

Anybody else see value in such an API?
