Thanks Glyn, my mistake. I'm still not familiar with all of the history here.
Yes to the first question. I'm not sure it's related to the second bug. In the first case we're asking "would Bundlor be useful to general PDE projects, and if so would that usefulness outweigh potential loss of transparency, maintenance costs and so on". As POC would be like, "support creating of generic PDE projects that make use of the bundlor mechanism". I think that PDE is best qualified to give an answer to that one. Is there anyone from PDE who has thoughts to share on that? In the second we're really asking "given a PDE project, can we make it more easy to build, execute and run with Virgo and other [non-Eclipse SDK] Runtime environments by leveraging PDE tools?" I think the Libra and Virgo teams will have to answer that one. Note by the way that it is perfectly easy at this point to actually deploy PDE built bundles, you just have to do the extra steps of exporting or building the plugins manually and then copying them off to Virgo runtime. So I think this part is largely a matter of some automation. But there are much more complex scenarios, where for example we might want to use the Run Configuration stuff as the primary gateway into launching and testing for self-hosted Virgo and Libra targets, rather or in addition to the current approach of manually creating local server(s) instances for that. -Miles |
