[pdt-dev] Namespace types

[Dawid Pakuła <zulus@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

New problem, sorry, we really need a developer docs :P

Someone remember why namespaces are implemented as ITypes 5 years ago by Michael Spector ? Problems with old DLTK api?  I cannot find any informations in mailing list history.

In theory this should be implemented by IElementRequestor.acceptPackage instead of IElementRequestor.acceptType.

Advantages:

1. Performance: we don’t have to filter namespaces while search (for ex. group by namespaces in PHPExplorer, any findType call)

2. No more ugly green icon :P

3. Cleaner PHP outliner, more JDT like

Disadvantages:

1. Migration ;)

2. Problem if file have more than one namespace, should be easy to fix by explorer and outliner content providers
