Re: [che-dev] Dynamic updating of Che extensions

Hi Tyler,

 

A timeframe for the analysis would be around a month or two. We are specifically interested in server-side extensions as we don't use GWT.

Would be glad to hear your thoughts and plans once you've something to share.

 

Thanks in advance,

Guy

Guy:

 

We have the question and are thinking it through. We do not have well-evolved thoughts here. This question has come up from time to time, but we haven't done the prepatory work to have a clear design of the approach that we would take.

 

One thought that we have to explore is if we can have a different form of extension update for server-side extensions vs. client-side extensions, which have to be compiled into a GWT application.

 

Do you have a timeframe for your analysis? We will huddle on our side for a dialog.

Hi all,

Â

For SAP Che implementation we're now exploring the extensibility story. I understand that currently there is no way to update extensions dynamically. As this is something we would like to support in the future, I have some related questions:

ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ Do you have plans to support this in the future?

ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ As incremental changes in a running container during extension development are supported, can you provide some details how is it done?

ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ Any suggestions how to implement this for productive usage in the current Che implementation?

Thanks in advance,
