RE: [dsdp-mtj-dev] The new JAD editor extension point
|
hi craig,
actually it is really nice to have you very active on the
list.
about the jad editor... actually I committed the code on
svn without any of the extensions implementations. all extensions
implementations (nokia and mot) are on MTJ examples (just to give an idea on how
to use the extension). so by default the user will not see any vendor specific
page on MTJ runtime / sdk.
the original idea is that each vendor would be able to
pack MTJ with its own extensions and provide an environment that is suppose
to target only its own devices. i see three options
1- keep this original idea (mtj runtime all not shown any
vendor specific page)
2- move nokia and mot specific extensions to MTJ
runtime and keep current code (mtj runtime will show nokia / mot specific pages,
based on current SDK)
3- move nokia and mot specific extensions to MTJ
runtime and change code to shown all vendor specific pages (mtj runtime will
show both nokia and mot pages)
i tend to like current solution designed and
implemented by gang, but i'm open to change my mind.
:)

Hi Craig, In
the scenario you described, the Motorola attributes will be shown on the User
Defined page, and he/she can change them there. If he/she switches back to
Motorola SDK, the defined Moto-specific attributes will still be shown on the
Motorola page, and the nokia-specific attributes will be shown on the User
Defined page. Is it ok for
that? Thanks! Best
Regards

Subject
| [dsdp-mtj-dev] The new
JAD editor extension point |
|
I
apologize to everyone for the email "spam" today. That's what happens
when I do all of my MTJ work in one marathon session!
I took a look
at the new JAD editor extension point functionality today
and I'm good with
the code. I am a bit concerned about the ability to
configure a
vendor-specific filter for the pages though. Imagine a user
scenario
that looks like this:
- Developer starts by using a Motorola-based SDK,
which causes the
Moto-specific JAD editor page(s) to be added to the
editor.
- Developer configures some Moto-specific JAD attributes using the
vendor-specific editor page(s)
- Developer switches to a Nokia-based SDK,
which causes the
Nokia-specific editors page(s) to be added the Moto pages
to be *removed*
- Developer alters the Nokia specific attributes and wants to
make a
change to the Motorola attributes as well... *but can't find
them*
While I understand the idea of not forcing the user to see pages
that
don't apply for the current device, it feels to me like the pages
should
be shown no matter what if there are vendor-specific attributes that
have been altered. One option is to always show all pages. The
other
is to show pages that apply to the current SDK *and* those that have
been previously shown.
I'd appreciate
thoughts.
Thanks,
Craig
