RE: [equinox-dev] Eclipse Server-Side Platform
|
John,
Thanks
for your comment. This was clearly an oversight on our part - "RCP" should read
"Workbench". This is indeed the architectural split we envision. We'll tidy up
the proposal in short order.
Cheers,
Joel
Hawkins
I just have a terminology coment on the corona proposal. In particular,
I have a comment on this paragraph:
"An
implementation of extensions for collaboration concepts that are analogous to
applicable RCP concepts such as Projects and Natures. For example, a shared
Project would implement a container for associated Project repositories and
would host ad hoc collaboration via ECF between project members as defined by
Higgins. "
and on this paragraph further
down:
"Collaboration-oriented analogues to
existing Eclipse constructs such as Projects and Natures - In addition
to the vertical extensibility provided by the plug-in and extension point
mechanisms, we will provide a set of horizontal integration constructs that
are analogous to the Project and Nature concepts within the Rich Client
Platform (RCP). This will include a shared version of the RCP Projects,
support for transient activities analogous to Builders within the RCP, and
support for ad-hoc collaboration spaces. "
The
rich client platform (RCP) specifically excludes the
org.eclipse.core.resources plugin, which defines the concepts of projects,
natures, and builders. Of course the resources plugin can be added on
top of RCP, but is very much outside of the main scope of RCP. It sounds
from your proposal that you are not targetting the RCP platform, but the
full-blown IDE platform. You may already have this in mind, but it might
make sense for your architecture to reflect this RCP/IDE split. I.e.,
base corona core on purely RCP bundles, and then layer the IDE-specific pieces
on top. This would enable use of the framework in both RCP and IDE
contexts.
For further reference, see questions 2
and 4 of the RCP FAQ:

Server-Side Platform |

I’m with
Compuware working on our proposed project to extend the value of the Eclipse
platform to the server-side. We plan on basing our project on Eclipse
3.2 to leverage OSGi R4 services. In addition, the Equinox incubator
project (http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/incubator/server/) also has some
features that are of interest.
We would like some feedback on the
following:
1)
Comments re: our proposed project
(http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/corona/).
2) What is the
probability that some of the Equinox incubator work will find its way into the
3.2 release?
Thanks,
-Dennis O’Flynn
