32 :     <p>This document will track the platform work in Eclipse 3.1
33 :     that is related to better support for Logical Resources (<a
34 :     href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=37723">37723</a>)
35 :     in Eclipse. The problem is wide reaching and requires work from every
36 :     component in Eclipse. If you want to understand progress, start by
37 :     reading the <a
38 : jlemieux 1.2 href="logical-physical-public.html">
39 : jlemieux 1.1 Problem Statement</a> then you can review the list of related work items<br>

41 :     <ul>
42 :     <li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mapping of logical resources to
43 :     physical files</span><br>
44 :     <br>
45 :     This item involves providing a new interface to describe a mapping: <a

53 :     [CVS Decorator] show version info works incorrectly for sub packages
54 :     (1GFDIEB) </li>
55 :     </ul>
56 :     Also, several bugs/enhancements need to be fixed to enable this support:<br>

77 :     in file refactoring operations</span> (Dirk + Jean-Michel)<br>
78 :     <br>
79 :     Resource modification could be delegated to the logical model. This
80 :     would allow for logical models to participate in all resource
81 :     modifications. The participation would be enabled using the refactoring
82 :     participant APIs and new support from PlatformUI for dynamic
83 : jlemieux 1.3 retargetable actions.<br><br>Here is a rough outline of the work that is required:<br>
84 :     <ul>
85 :     <li>ltk.core.refactoring should be split to remove IResource dependency from core compoment.
86 :     <li>ltk.ui.refactoring needs to remove dependency on jdt.core and jdt.ui
87 :     <li>CVS team to evaluate converting actions into operations so that plug-ins can participate.
88 :     <li>Enable dynamic re-targetable actions in platform ui based on a criteria (e.g. nature)
89 :     <li>Allow logical models to provide standard refactoring operations for resources that it owns.

94 :     <li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Logical model aware rendering</span>
95 :     (used by refactoring preview, sync
96 :     view, search) (Dirk+Jean-Michel)<br>
97 :     <br>
98 :     Start by investigating static rendering
99 :     first (showing the model
100 :     without supporting updates when the logical model changes). This is
101 :     good for the refactoring
102 :     preview and search. Can possible use WorkbenchAdapter mechanism. No
103 :     support for model specific actions in the context menu<br>
104 :     <br>
105 :     Dynamic rendering with action contributions is much more complicated,
106 :     post 3.1?<br>

112 :     <br>
113 :     Plug-ins copy the resource navigator/packages
114 :     explorer to build their own logical model navigators.<br>
115 :     what pieces of these navigators are generally useful
