Buckminster developers have been attending Corona’s weekly developer meetings and
proposed an idea using Corona Collaboration. The idea of using Corona to share
Buckminster information such as RMAP and CSPEC specifications across a
workgroup was suggested.
The initial thought was to treat Buckminster information as
a repository of information and to add a repository definition into Corona Project
Context Container. Project Context Container allows repositories of
information to be shared across everyone in a workgroup.
Here is link to the Corona Wiki page describes the process
on integrating a repository into the Corona
Framework http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Corona_HowTo:_Integrate_a_Repository
Buckminster would probably create a repository adapter to
access a set of files from the Corona Server and then start the existing
Buckminster materialization process. One item to keep in mind as you
design your adapter is that you can expose your repository adapter as a web
service using Corona SOA support. It may also make sense to split the
existing Buckminster plugin into two plugins one to be deployed on the Corona
Server and another for the Eclipse IDE container the Corona Client
plugins. I think Thomas mentioned that some of the version resolution processing
could be time consuming and could be shared by many people in a workgroup.
Once the version resolution process was complete a Container event could be
sent notifying workgroup clients a new “Bill of Materials” was
ready
If you have questions please post them to the corona-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx this mail list
is actively monitored by myself and Dennis O’Flynn. I will not be
working the week of 12/24/2006 but Dennis will be in Wednesday through the end
of the week.
Happy Holidays
