Re: [ecf-dev] Two issues I feel that needs a healthy discussion over before ECF 1.0...

Hi Remy and everyone,
Yes, I agree these issues both need discussion. Here's some thoughts
(below).

1.5 is an iffy area and I'm sure everyone understands that. Things
starts to get more interesting if

<cid:part1.03080108.08040605@composent.com>ou'll recall some past
experiments
playing with ECF on eRCP, we have bug #149024
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=149024) filed to
confirm execution environments (EEs) in that regard.
So I think we need to tease out:
1) Which JRE (1.4 or 1.5)
2) Which EE (CDC or OSGi)
3) Which runtime version (1.0 or 1.1)
And decide for each of these which ECF needs to support. I've put this
comment in bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=149024 so
we can follow up there with details about the EE and EE version.
If we stick to just the JRE (1.4 vs 1.5) for the moment, I *think* that
we should move to assuming 1.5 as minimum by the end of November.
Any comments about that? It would mean that people would have to have
1.5 (rather than 1.4) in order to run much of ECF. Do people think that
end of November is too soon? Too late?
I'm going to have to respond to the second half of Remy's posting over
the next few days as I've got to get some sleep before Eclipse Summit
Europe. I agree his second issue is an important one needing
discussion/strategy for dealing with it in a general way. Remy if it
doesn't get followed up on in ecf-dev (or perhaps even if it does)
please file a bug against that issue too so it doesn't get lost.
Thanks,
Scott
