Re: [handly-dev] Dependency on org.eclipse.core.resources

[Vlad Dumitrescu <vladdu55@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Vladimir,

I got some time to look at this, but I'm not sure I get it right (probably it's just a misunderstanding from my part): given your explanation I has assumed that the previous newmodel.zip would have a required dependency on o.e.c.resources, but it doesn't have one at all. Maybe newmodel.zip is incomplete?

How useful would be the model without references to resources? There has to be something that allows using files and such in a RPC. Would the o.e.c.filesystem be enough? It only depends on osgi bundles. (I admit I don't know much about the details)

best regards,

Vlad

Just to keep everyone informed,

 

I was experimenting for a while with whether the dependency on o.e.core.resources could be made optional, so that Handly could be used in Eclipse RCP applications (there appears to be some interest in this, see e.g. a blog comment [1]). First results are encouraging -- I think it would be quite easy to do, thanks to how the JVM works wrt class loading.

 

I have incorporated my findings into the new design prototype (see the newmodel2 project attached), although it could be implemented in the existing design too. For details, please see the "first strategy" test case (model.test.Test). When o.e.core.resources bundle is not resolved, only testFooElementDelta2 and testFooElementDelta3 tests fail (as expected), all other tests pass.

 

Best regards,

Vladimir
