PoC to show new feature

[Erik Drolshammer <dr...@idi.ntnu.no>]

Hi!
I have written a PoC to illustrate the concept we have discussed earlier 
(search for thread with topic "Does this feature already exist?").

The PoC works for add/remove projects, but don't support add/remove 
depencies in the pom or in the list of derived dependencies.

I must work on my report now, so I haven't planned any more programming 
  before delivery.

As it is, it's pretty useless, but I can work more on it later, if the 
community is interested.

A rough todo list would then be:

* Port the PoC to trunk or continuum-1.1-alpha.

* Implement update (i.e., add and remove dependencies from pom.xml)

* Add reference to original project in the derived projects

* Add reference to original dependency in the derived dependencies

* Read derived dependencies from xml-file (enable/disable in xml-file).
    (log4j:log4j:1.2.14, commons-logging:commons-logging:1.1 and 
jmock:jmock:1.1.0 are now set as derived dependencies)

* Remove all java 1.5 syntax to conform with java 1.4 syntax

* GUI: tree structure (click to maximize and show the derived projects)

+ clean up the code and proper tests


Comments?

Is tool support for the concept useful?

Given proper code, syntax, etc. is it probable that it would be accepted 
into continuum?

Hi!
I plan to write the further work section of my thesis within the next 
couple of days. If anyone have any comments on my todo list, I would 
really appreciate to hear them.

The report can still be found at 
http://folk.ntnu.no/drolsham/temp/report-snapshot.pdf, if anyone is 
interested.
