Model sources

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

This is the Repository Model in its current state.

Due to the many changes yesterday, my reference implementation 
(PlainURLRepositoryAgent(Factory) ) is not functional.

I decided to send you this first, and while you go through it, I will fix the 
reference implementation as well as the Eclipse UI.


Cheers,
Niclas

P.S. I CC the mailing list, and we'll see if the ZIP attachment (32kB) reaches 
there...

Please elaborate on the difference between a Repository descriptor and a Group 
descriptor.
And isn't my ResourceInfo and ResourceGroupInfo those descriptor interfaces??
Or are you trying to say that you need descriptors of metainformation?

Who needs TogetherJ, when you have Wordpad ??

ROTFL.  Ascii Artists never stops amazing me... (but look at it with a 
proportional font ;o) )

But seriously, to the far right you have an extend and an aggregate that I 
don't follow. Is that the implementation side?

Just working my way though ....

In RepositoryAgent

     * @param resourceGroupIdentification is the group that holds the 
resources. If the parameter
     * is an empty string, the root resource group is requested. The 
identification must be
     * repository relative.

The notion of a root group - this would imply that a repository is 
implicity a group (which kind of makes sence - but kind of does not - 
depending on your viewpoint).  If a repository is viewed as a group 
(e.g. a group of groups) then I think we are missing a descriptor.  I.e. 
we would have descriptors for artifacts, groups, and repositories.

                          0..n
      InfoDescriptor <>------- Property
            ^
            |-----------------------|
            |           0..n        |           0..n
   ArtifactDescriptor <-----<>GroupDescriptor <------|
                                    ^                |
                                    |                |
                          RepositoryDescriptor <>----|


UML via ASCII.
<> aggregates
^ extends
