RE: [ve-dev] Re: Future of VE
|
Hi,
But be aware of real exposure with this.
It works fine for a controlled project where the code being developed is
under strict controls, but if the code being developed has anything strange
in it, it could crash or lock up the Eclipse IDE. It could even call System.exit(),
and that would work and Eclipse would not get a chance to do any cleanup
or save of state.
Thanks,
Rich

The implementation of the target VM code is such that it is possible to
have VE talk to JavaBeans that are instantiated inside the Eclipse VM,
rather than having to use a separate VM. This isn't used by the Swing/SWT
VE implementation, however it is used by some guys who did a bunch of work
with having the VE working with mobile MIDP stuff where they had the beans
inside Eclipse itself.
One idea we kicked around for ages but never finished off, was that the
VE would allow the option to run directly against the IDE's VM, perhaps
via a preference where if the Java project's classpath matched that of
the IDE itself then this was the default option. Once we get a 3.3
codebase working maybe we should revisit this as an option - if nothing
else it means that user's first impression of VE will be faster, and then
as that user becomes more complex in terms of having separate targets and
IDEs, they have the option of breaking the two apart but understand the
implications.
Best regards,
Joe
