sse M9 Milestone planning for SSE Component

1.0M9 Plan - updated 9/27/2005

Design for Platform Use Provide API to embed source page editor in multipage editors and improve integration with the Eclipse platform Continue refactoring to improve separation of components [medium] Transition IModelManager to using a connect/disconnect pattern with IPaths and InputStreams, and provide an I(Structured)DocumentManager for managing structured documents in the absence of structured models. [medium] Declare supported API for StructuredDocument/TextRegions/Parsers [medium] Transition ModelHandlers to ModelFactorys [medium] Create a NodeAdapterFactoryManager and disable/remove current adapter factory extension point [medium] Document IEditorPart adapter handling recommendations [medium] Code folding [medium] Remove encoding mementos and document alternate methods using content describers [low] Correct partitioner implementations and usages by StructuredDocument implementations [low]

Provide APIs to extend our source editor Document and finalize PropertySheetConfiguration [high] Document and finalize ContentOutlineConfiguration [high] Plan what to do with Text Tools, preference page IDs, and other current usages [medium] Eliminate StructuredTextEditor subclasses and switch to plugin action contributions [high] Document APIs for Validation, both Source and Batch [high] Make API out of our Highlighting scheme, after investigating avenues with TextPresentation for semantic highlighting [medium] Clarify and define Formatting API [low] Provide extensibility in Content Assist [low] Clean up Preferences [low] Find where we're violating our own APIs and clean them up [low]

Performance Improve memory usage, performance, and thread safety Improve Thread safety by abandoning the use of of IStructuredDocumentRegion.getNextNode for iteration; use IStructuredDocument.getNodes(offset, length) instead [medium] Investigate numerous model and document implementation improvements [low] Improve "adapt on create" design and implementation. [low] Improve "read-only" design [low] Improve formatter performance [medium] Investigate "sparse model" design for memory savings [low] Redesign StructuredDocument/TextRegions/Parsers to shrink memory usage [medium]

Other functionality Document Drag and Drop abilities [medium]

Quality Continue to Document Designs and API, create JUnit and Performance Tests [medium] Define and enhance JUnit testcases. [medium] Write on-line documentation. [medium]
