Hi
Mickael,
The
CQ for the “Tycho Target Editor” (within SAP, it was known
as the LDI Target Editor) are just the first two steps of
“open-sourcing” the target editor enhancements. With the CQ,
·
The
sources are made public, so that people can have a look, and
·
The
sources are moved to Eclipse, so that people can contribute.
There
is plenty of work to do afterwards:
·
The
community needs to decide which features are potentially
interesting. There is documentation included with the
contribution, so details will come once the CQ is through.
In the meanwhile, you can find a summary here:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=401719#c0
·
Settings
which are currently hard-coded (like the URL of the Nexus
instance) need to be made configurable.
·
A
discussion with the PDE project needs to be started if some
or all of the functionality should be moved to the PDE
project. This would imply a major refactoring of the code
because the LDI Target Editor duplicated large parts of the
PDE’s model in order to be able to extend it.
