Status of Eclipse Repository Plug-In

[Niclas Hedhman <ni...@hedhman.org>]

Hi gang.

I have made some progress on the Repository Plug-In, and by week end, the 
Repository View should be fully operational together with the Preferences 
settings for adding and removing Repositories. Currently only the Add will 
work, and that a bit shaky...

I have not yet got to the point to present the Attributes/Properties of 
resources in the repository, nor drag-n-drop of components into project and 
all the other really fancy stuff, but we'll get there eventually.

Also, I am working to define/implement a so called Extension Point, which 
means that you can write other plug-ins that can add functionality to another 
plug-in. In this case, the Extension Point is about adding additional 
Repository types.

Since there is a Repository spec going on, I thought that I should create the 
RepositoryAgent & RepositoryAgentFactory for this implementation, as a show 
case.

Question for Stephen, Alex and whoelse is working on it;

Is there Directory/Container support in the spec?

What is the thread and event model?

I don't think there is a thread or event model yet. I am (slowly)
working on a SEDA like (event) set of interfaces. I'm thinking
of having the EventHandler interface be at the same level
as Startable and so that components can just be
stage like.
Anyway, I'll try to get a proposal out soon but I've been a bit
swamped with other work stuff.
Cheers,
Steve

Btw,  and this will be a plug-in by itself. That's the beauty of Eclipse 
Plug-In Development in a nutshell.
